It was great to welcome back Lt Colonel Tim Osman (KES 87-94) to speak at Open Forum last month.  With a military career spanning more than 26 years, Tim has worked in a wide variety of roles and shared his experiences with our Sixth Formers, talking about his time in Afghanistan and Iraq, and highlighting the importance of preparation and fully informed decision making. He is currently Head Coach of the Army 1st XV rugby team and he described the magnitude of the annual Army-Navy fixture held at Twickenham. Having endured a loss in his first experience of this fixture in 2023, Tim explained how the 2024 fixture resulted in an extraordinary last-minute win with the central message being that giving up is not an option.

Tim is the youngest of 4 brothers, all of whom attended KES.  Now a current KES parent himself, we couldn’t miss the opportunity for a multi-generational Osman family photo.
