Agnes Body (29 April 1866 – 31 March 1952) was a British headmistress.
In 1883 she was living in Durham with her family until in 1886 she went to Cheltenham Ladies College to train to become a teacher.
She passed her exams and turned down an offer from Alice Ottley School to return to Cheltenham Ladies College to work under Dorothea Beale who convinced her that teaching was a "sacred mission".
[1] In September 1893 Lincoln Christ's Hospital Girls' High School was started with Agnes Body as its headmistress.
In 1913, when ill-health made her retire, it was said that QMS was known as "Miss Body's School".
