"Abbotsleigh’s head of maths, Betina Wrightson, said almost all girls at the school studied maths in year 12 at her school because they had developed a passion for the subject in earlier years."

@GrayConnolly @stephiegal That's correct, Gray - Grace Cossington Smith attended Abbotsleigh from 1907 to 1909 under our first Headmistress, Marian Clarke, and the art gallery on site is named in her honour.

Plus Freddie Mercury, Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol, Al Pacino, Dolly Parton and Sting....
