'The Grantite Review' was started in 1884 and was the House magazine of Grant's. It contained news about the House including, students who had left and arrived at the House, sporting results and achievements, details of the house play, letters, poems and news about the 'Old Grantite Club'. It was distributed within the House and to Old Grantites. Later issues include adverts and there are inserts in some editions.
Begun by M. G. Hewins (G 1911 - c.1916) in Election term 1916, this volume is a list of old Grantites arranged alphabetically by surname in decades. Each Head of house was to add the names of those who left each year. Some names also have notes about the careers of the pupils after they left Westminster School. It is based on the work of Lawrence Tanner, Grant's House ledgers and school registers. There is a list at the back of the book of Old Grantites who died before the list was compiled and which are not included in the main register.
This edition includes the names of new students to Grant's, a music and drama section with details of the House play, and a sports section with details of Grant's House achievements. There is also a letter from an Old Grantite which forms the main feature.
This magazine largely took over from the House magazine 'The Grantite Review'. It was first produced in Election term 1994 with the aim of producing one or two editions a year so the 'Grantite Review' could be produced once every five years. It contains general news from the House including the names of new pupils and leavers, details of charity fundraising, a sports section and details of upcoming events within the House. It does not contain news from the 'Old Grantite Club', which was included in the 'Elizabethan' instead, but does advertise their events and occasionally includes letters from Old Grantites. The magazine was distributed within Grant's house and to Old Grantites.
This is the first edition of the 'Grantite Gazette'. It gives the names of leavers, general news within the House, details of the House concert and sporting achievements of the House.
This edition contains the usual sports and music sections, and names of new pupils as well as leavers, but also includes sections dedicated to the fifth form and the lower shell. There are also interviews with two Grant's tutors and a section on the 'Old Grantites Club'.
