Opening of New 6th Form House
The new 6th Form house is expected to be ready for opening in the Summer of 2008. The Principal has suggested to the WCA Committee that the event would be an opportunity to encourage more recent leavers back to the school, along with all other past students who would like to attend. More details to follow.

2009 Events
CGS Reunion
In 1959 some 36 or so youngsters turned up in coaches at Wymondham College to begin what was known then as the Fringe Grammar. The plan was to start a new grammar school at Wymondham and then move it on to new premises at some unspecified date.
We were split into two classes and for the whole of my time there we were always the senior classes. I was with Mr Banham who, as well as being the form master, also taught French.
Eventually we became the County Grammar School, subsequently integrated with Wymondham College, and at the end of my 5th year some went off to work in the world and other stayed on for 6th form and, I assume, university.
In September 2009 it will be 50 years since that momentous occasion and I wonder if I might put out an appeal for any CGS Old Boys and Girls to get in touch with a view to a reunion sometime in 2009.
If there are any out there who are in touch with the original two classes could they contact me, preferably through email, and see it we are not able to put something together.
Yours in hope
