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.
