We currently have close to 500 former pupils & staff on our membership List. Members value the Association's work for a wide variety of reasons but through their membership ALL MEMBERS are contributing to a legacy of the values and traditions from their years at The Selhurst Schools.

Over the next few years we are planning to set up a CHARITABLE TRUST to provide a range of long-term annual awards/benefits for future students at THE CRESCENT PRIMARY SCHOOL (former Boys' School) and THE BRIT SCHOOL (former Girls' School). Members will be kept up to date with progress via the Magazine and in Newsletters & News Bulletins.

“THE TRADITION OF YOUR SCHOOL IS HANDED ON TO YOU BY OTHERS WHO WERE MEMBERS BEFORE YOU.
PLAY YOUR PART AS A WORTHY MEMBER SO THAT YOU MAY PASS ON TO OTHERS A TRADITION THAT IS BETTER FOR YOUR ASSOCIATION."
