Louise Hogg (née Venner) - Meynell 1997 - OA Club Deputy Chair

I started at King’s House aged four and went on to King’s Hall and King’s College, leaving in 1997. As one of the first cohorts of girls at both the Hall and the College, I have very fond memories of school.

I first joined the OA Committee in 2005, stepped away in 2007 when I moved to Bristol, and rejoined in 2021 after returning to Taunton. I became Deputy Chair in 2022.

I’m now married, work in Marketing for Lloyds Bank, and my two sons attend the Prep School. Driving up the school drive brings back wonderful memories, and I enjoy being part of the Committee and seeing how the school continues to grow while keeping its original ethos.

Chris Rew - Meynell 1980 - OA Club Treasurer

I left King’s in 1980 and lived in London until 2007, working as an Investment Manager. My two youngest sons, James and Thomas, also attended King’s from the age of four and are now professional cricketers with Somerset County Cricket Club.

After moving to Taunton in 2008, I joined the OA Committee and became Treasurer of both the Club and the OA Benefit Fund in 2010.

Our family lives close to the school, and we enjoy supporting its sports teams, concerts, and plays. It’s always a pleasure to see OAs return to take part in OA activities and events and events organised by the Parents and Friends Association.

Tom Mott - Perretts 1992 - OA Club Secretary

I left King's in 1992 but King's has never left me. My family has long been associated with the school, dating back to my father's arrival at Pyrland Hall (now King's Prep) as a pupil from 1953-1958. And the link continues into a third generation as both my children, having spent their primary school years in London, are at King's too. I joined the OA Committee in 2021 and help to provide OAs with opportunities to keep in touch with the school both online and in person.
