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