'Interesting facts'
Most of the Interesting Facts section was not fit for an encyclopedia, and otherwise just plain stupid. I've merged the only worthwhile ones into the rest of the article. Ishaana 18:11, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm sceptical about this section. Newbolt's entry in the Brittanica doesn't mention Caistor, and Dawn French's own webpage doesn't mention the school.

I heard the Newbolt story when I was at the school: somebody ought to check his biography, as it's only hearsay.

If Dawn French was there, it might have overlapped my time. It doesn't mean anything, either way, that I don't recall the name. I know of one instance of a girl only being at the school, in the Sixth Form, for a few weeks, but that was somebody I knew from the village where I lived.

User: Toddy 14:24, 17 June 2011 (UTC) Dawn French did attend the school whilst her father served at a nearby RAF Station (Binbrook)- physical eveidence in the form of her signature on the ownership label of several text books at the school, verified against her signature in her autobigraphy show she was a student at CGS, albeit briefly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.138.226 (talk) 14:25, 17 June 2011 (UTC)

Dawn French apparently referred to her time at the school in her autobiography. Link posted to relevant article in the Market Rasen Mail.

The usually evidence cited for Newbolt's time at Caistor is his semi-autobiographical novel 'The Twymans', in which Caistor is thinly disguised as 'Casterby'.


 * I have removed the Twymans link for Newbolt. If CGS is "thinly disguised as 'Casterby'" we need a reliable source to confirm this as a thin disguise with proof that it actually refers to CGS. WP doesn't deal in conjecture. Acabashi (talk) 12:24, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Wayne Noon was there until about 1989. I don't have the specifics to hand, but Playfair Cricket Annuals in the mid-late 90s identified him as attending Caistor if that counts as a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.25.109.204 (talk) 13:10, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
