THE LIVERPOOL BLUE COAT SCHOOL OLD BLUES' ASSOCIATION

Motto: “And may all its proceedings be characterised by brotherly love.”

The Liverpool Blue Coat Brotherly Society was founded on 12th February 1838, with the principle objective of assisting, advising and promoting the well-being of the boys who attended the Liverpool Blue Coat School. Members of the Society, (all former Blue Coat pupils), would “look after” Blue Coat boys for at least two years after they left the School, visiting them at home or work, and providing financial assistance where necessary and appropriate. This was of great benefit to the boys, and the care thus shown had a tremendous influence on the lives and careers of these boys.

Since the School’s return to Liverpool after the Second World War, there has been less need for this sort of assistance, so the charity has turned its efforts towards objects that would benefit the School in general.

Evidence of the generosity of the charity over the years can be found throughout the School. In 1938, to celebrate its centenary, the charity provided the oak pews in the Chapel. In 1963 (the charity’s 125th anniversary) they provided the stained glass south window of the Chapel. The Old Blues’ Memorial Library was presented in 1952 in remembrance of the Old Blues who gave their lives in the two World Wars and the splendid gates in front of the old main entrance were provided in 1958, when the School celebrated its 250th anniversary.

In September 2015, the legal title of the charity became "The Liverpool Blue Coat School Old Blues' Association".
