Following the Grand Reunions held in 1993 and 1996, Edwin Cuss complied two illustrated books on the history of Cirencester Grammar School over the five centuries of its existence.



From the sales of these books entitled, respectively, “The History of Cirencester Grammar School” and “Looking Back at Cirencester Grammar School” a fund was built up.

In order to perpetuate the name of Cirencester Grammar School, the majority of the income of the fund has been devoted to gifts to schools in the former Grammar School catchment area from which the original pupils were drawn. The balance of the fund is added to at intervals from sales of the second book which is still available. That balance will also be devoted to similar gifts.

The fund is administered by a committee comprising Rosemary Waring, Mavis Mills, Brenda Lissimore and Peter Rowe.

We have paid out well over £3000 to local schools in the catchment area.
