Golby, the director of education at Kesteven, and F.W. Jenkinson, chairman of Kesteven council. The head girl was Andrea Thody. By 1957, from 1910 there had been only two headteachers.

At the Old Girls Association dinner in the school hall, the first head returned, and Margaret Thatcher attended, as her father was chairman of the governors, with T.W. Golby and some of the 1910 intake.

Dorothy Gillies last speech day was on Tuesday 27 October 1964; she would leave at the end of the Easter term in 1965 and return to Edinburgh, with Alf Roberts, chair of the governors. Nancie Pannell became the new headteacher, when Judith Nussey was head girl. In the senior speech day held on Wednesday 8 November 1967, Nancie Pannell said there was a ''disturbing lack of ambition amongst some of our fourth and fifth formers''; she added ''some geese try to be swans, and have to accept their limitations as time goes on, but there are far more problems over swans who are content to be geese.'' The netball team had been unbeaten that year, scoring 389 goals and only conceding 139. The head girl that year was Fran Goldsbrough, with deputies Valerie Smith and Janet Simmonds. Each year, there were three classes K, G and S. The school's first headteacher died on Wednesday 7 February 1968 Alf Roberts left the governors due to ill health in October 1969; he died on Tuesday 10 February 1970, aged 77; later that month, his daughter became shadow education secretary. The BBC filmed the church service for the 60 years jubilee on Thursday 16 July 1970; the head girl was Celia Whysall. In October 1972 at the speech day, the prizes were handed out by Enid Russell-Smith, who gave a notable candid and lurid description of how not to be approached by gentlemen at university; but she herself died in July 1989, having never been married herself. In May 1976, Suzanne Hunt won the English Schools Table Tennis under 16 competition, for the second year. As Conservative leader, Margaret Thatcher first visited on Friday 4 March 1977.

Curriculum

Kesteven Grantham Girls' School provides a curriculum across Key Stage 3 to 5. The sixth form curriculum is enhanced by cooperation with the nearby King’s School.


Form and house activity

Each form has a form captain and deputy, two school council members and two charity representatives. Form captains deal with problems and represent the form. A school council discusses matters and acts to improve the school and its community. Charity events are organised by forms to raise money for good causes, with a trophy given each year to the form which raises the most. Pupils are allotted to one of six houses within the school, named after famous female writers and poets: Austen, Brontë, Browning, Eliot,

. Each house has its own colour: Austen is purple, Potter is green, Rossetti is red, Bronte is white, Browning is black and Elliot is yellow. Houses are headed by two year 13 house captains. The house system is maintained and supervised by three year 13 house secretaries and one member of staff. House events include a sports day, a pantomime, choir, netball, badminton, rounders, debating, public speaking, general knowledge and dance. House pantomimes and choirs have an important place in the school's calendar each year. House assemblies are held each term, where house captains inform pupils of news, plans and ideas surrounding house events, and encourage participation in activities.
