🚀📚 Library Adventures for Years 1 & 2! 📚🚀 Our wonderful pupils in Years 1 and 2 had a fantastic time during their monthly visit to the library! This time, they explored the wonders of space, learning all about planets and the solar system — and even designing their very own imaginative planets. 🌍✨ After enjoying a super space-themed story together, the children proudly used their library cards to choose books to borrow and take home. We love seeing their excitement for reading grow with every visit! We’re already counting down to our next trip! Thank you Thetford Library 🌟📖 #LoveReading #LibraryVisit #FutureAstronauts

Nothing to see here! Just snippets of our Years 1 and 2 counting from 1 to 70! We're so immensely proud of the progress they are making in French. Bravo, les enfants!

🎄 Merry Christmas from Thetford Grammar School🎄 We would like to wish all our families, friends and the wider community a very Merry Christmas. This special video features pupils from Years 4–8, gathered in the Old School, singing Stille Nacht in German and accompanied by instruments. A beautiful moment of music, togetherness and festive spirit. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year. We wish you a joyful Christmas and New Year. ✨

✨ What a fantastic way to end the term at Thetford Grammar School! ✨ The past few weeks have been bursting with festive fun and unforgettable moments – from magical pantomime trips and lively house activities, Christmas Shows to the buzz of our Christmas Fayre and the joy of our beautiful Carol concerts. 🎭🎄🎶 It’s been a whirlwind of laughter, creativity and community spirit, making this the perfect close to a wonderful term. Thank you to everyone who helped make it so special – students, staff and families alike. What a way to finish the year! 🌟

✨ A wonderful Friends of Thetford Grammar School Social Morning! ✨ We recently enjoyed a super festive Christmas calligraphy workshop with the amazing @clarewarrencalligraphy. Some of our younger pupils even popped in to see the beautiful writing and gift tags being created with the “special pens and ink” — their excitement was priceless! We are so lucky to have such a fantastic community of parents, families, and friends supporting TGS through Friends of TGS. We’re already looking forward to their upcoming pop-up Elfridges Christmas Shop ✨ and the Winter Fayre 🎄 — festive fun is definitely on the way! #thetfordgrammarschool #norfolkschool #schoolcommunity

Today we invited our 11+ scholars to Scholar’s Brunch. Pupils proudly showcased the incredible range of scholarly activities they have been involved in — both inside and outside of school. From scuba diving adventures to museum explorations, academic competitions and even the successful achievement of a grade 9 at early GCSE entry, our Scholars demonstrated an inspiring commitment to curiosity and challenge. Students brought along medals, certificates, project work and photographs of themselves in action — a true display of passion, hard work and dedication. Staff were thoroughly impressed by the variety and ambition of our scholars’ pursuits — a huge well done to everyone who took part! Mrs Butler-Hand will be leading an information session next week for all pupils looking to apply for a 13+ scholarship. #ScholarsBrunch #StudentSuccess #ProudTeachers #LifelongLearners #CuriosityAndChallenge

Our Year 6 French pupils have been mastering structures and vocabulary on the theme of “Where I live.” 🏡 They’ve been combining countries, weather, and cardinal points in a game of 'Mastermind' — testing their knowledge and teamwork along the way. 🎯 Bravo, les garçons ! 👏🇫🇷
