We hope you enjoy travelling back in time with us and perhaps recognise a few people. Please get in touch if you have any pictures you'd like to contribute. Her Royal Highness the Princess Anne formally opened on November 4th, 1980. Several council members, the town mayor, the high sheriff of Gloucestershire, and the former headmaster Mr. Greenwood welcomed the princess. Some of the photos from this remarkable day are shown in the slide show on our gallery page, along with newspaper clippings, the schedule of activities, and of course, the Princess's signature. We hope you enjoy looking through our history, and if you have any old images of Kingshill, please get in touch. We'd love to include them on our website about the school's past.
