Some celebrit...

In the early 20thcentury girls wore pinafores known as ‘gymslips’.By the middle of the 20thcentury this had evolved into a bottle green uniform with a school tie and blazer.By the mid-1970s the uniform had been abolished.On Sunday 1st September 2013, a team of 6, 4 of whom were from Year 8 at CSG set out from Shakespeare Beach, near Dover, at 5.30am and swam a distance of 21 miles. They swam in in one hour shifts and reached France in just over 13 hours. A magnificent £18,000 was raised which was put towards refurbishing the science labs. Dame Athene Donald, Profes...
