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.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or school:
“Whatever is felt upon the page without being specifically named there—that, one might say, is created. It is the inexplicable presence of the thing not named, of the overtone divined by the ear but not heard by it, the verbal mood, the emotional aura of the fact or the thing or the deed, that gives high quality to the novel or the drama, as well as to poetry itself.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“The happiest two-job marriages I saw during my research were ones in which men and women shared the housework and parenting. What couples called good communication often meant that they were good at saying thanks to one another for small aspects of taking care of the family. Making it to the school play, helping a child read, cooking dinner in good spirit, remembering the grocery list,... these were silver and gold of the marital exchange.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
