A culture of service is central to life at Kingston Grammar School and is a core element of partnership work with local schools and charities. We are incredibly proud of the contributions of all our young people – whether mentoring younger students, fundraising or volunteering in the community. We are certain that these experiences will help to shape the decisions they make as they consider their place in society, and how they can continue to play their part in making the world a better place.
