 While living with the Clarke family, Newton was educated at The King's School, Grantham (where his signature can still be seen upon a library window sill).He spent much of his time on independent pursuits, and did poorly in school.He was removed from school, and by October 1659 he was to be found at Woolsthorpe-by-Colsterworth, where his mother, widowed by now for a second time, attempted to make a farmer of him.
