Cytringanians is the old roman name for Kettering.
The school has been going for 400 years in various locations around the town of Kettering.
‘The old Cytringanians’ was started by school teachers who came back after World War I to ‘thank their lucky stars’.
Originally Hawthorne Road, Park Road, Stanford Road and one other school were all set up to solve the curriculum and school problem.
The old Cytringanians used to give £250 for university students but this stopped because schools weren't entering the students.

Over the years that the school has served the people of Kettering, it has developed a strong and extensive history in the town. We can’t possibility detail the whole history of the organization but a brilliant source of this information is the “Cytringanian Farewell” which was contributed to by over 60 former pupils and staff. Below are a few interesting brief notes on the history and we hope to extend this in the future.
The Grammar School start life at a small building on Gold Street that was demolished during the 1960, over the years the school grow and developed. Up to 1962, the school had shared a purpose-built premises on Bowling Green Road with its girls' equivalent - Kettering High School.
In later years the Windmill Avenue buildings housed Kettering Boys School, with many of the same staff as the Grammar School but no longer selective, and now part of the area's Comprehensive education system. The Windmill Avenue site is currently occupied by Tresham College of Further and Higher Education
