Girton Grammar School is an independent co-educational school from Prep to Year 12 located in Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.

History

{{One source section|date=September 2016}}

Girton Grammar School was founded in late 1992 after Girton College, an initially single-sex girls' school owned and operated by the Anglican Diocese of Bendigo, closed in 1992 when the diocese was no longer able to fund it. Following the closure of Girton College, some people associated with that school founded Girton Grammar School as a new and independent private school. The school opened in early 1993 under the direction of founding headmaster Clayton Jones.[1]
