Kingsbury High School is a large High School with academy status in Kingsbury, London, England notable for a number of reasons including its national reputation for Mathematics, its many eminent alumni and for the fact that the Upper School site at Princes Avenue, NW9 London, is recognisable to many British adults because it was used as the set for one of the original series of the popular children's drama series Grange Hill for its first two series in the late 1970s.
It is also notable because of its 'high' exam results and is 'heavily' 'over'-subscribed. It was also attended by George Michael (formerly of "Wham"), 1980's group "Osibisa", founding members of the popular music group "Sugababes" and jazz saxophonist Courtney Pine.

—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“Bodily offspring I do not leave, but mental offspring I do. Well, my books do not have to be sent to school and college, and then insist on going into the church, or take to drinking, or marry their mother’s maid.”
