On the occasion of her retirement in 2010, Mrs Grant's Upper Sixth Biologists penned the following Limerick:

There once was a biology teacher

Who was quite a curious creature

She was utterly charming

And obsessed with Darwin

Oh, how lucky we were to meet her

Her pupils said that during Mrs Grant's lessons, time sped up and the lessons passed quickly. Those lessons contained a variety of activities including poster making, the creation of scale models, large scale sweeping diagrams and play-doh! Her tutor at university had been David Bellamy!

Outside the classroom, Mrs Grant was a cheery and supportive colleague who regularly came back to school after her retirement as a supply teacher,

Mrs Grant could be often seen at Old Girls' and former staff gatherings which she supported most actively.
