Alumni

The Summerhill Alumni is a dynamic body of former students who wish to share their success as an inspiration to our future stars.  It offers a wonderful opportunity to share success stories that help contribute in a meaningful manner to the school and local community.

We work with local businesses to support, showcase and stay in touch with our former students .  Amongst our former students are a whole host of talented role models who we can connect with to offer careers education and advice, mentor students, provide work experience placements and much more!

We would love as many people as possible to become a member of our Alumni network.  If you are or know anyone who is a former student who has gone on to become a success either through their professional career or service to the community, and would like to share this with us, please contact Mr James Wollerton, via email jwollerton@summerhill.dudley.sch.uk or telephone 01384 816 165 ext. 0407.

Once you have expressed your interest we will let you know about exciting opportunities to support our school community, and benefit you.  There is however no obligation to do any more than share your story with us, however, you will receive updates on opportunities from time to time.
