The Thetford Grammar School Community

At Thetford Grammar School, we often refer to our school as being a family. We are very proud of the strong sense of belonging that pupils, parents and staff feel towards the school and we frequently meet to celebrate these links and the pupil successes that they foster.

We are united by adherence to our community values of respect, responsibility and resilience as the guiding principles that provide the environment in which pupils can achieve their very best. By uniting efforts between our school, our pupils and our families, we collectively provide a truly triangulated support system.

The sense of belonging to the TGS community is one that lasts, as shown in our alumni association, the Old Thetfordians, some of whom left over 70 years ago. You can also see the lasting attachment that our pupils form to their school in the stories of our leavers below.

Together we are TGS

Sports Weekly Roundup On Monday 22nd January, the 6th Form boys Football team hosted Abbey College Cambridge. It was a tight game in blustery conditions. In the first half, Abbey College took the lead from the penalty spot. Elliott and Finn both went close from free kicks, only to be denied by some excellent saves by the opposition keeper. In the second half, TGS kept fighting and got their reward when Noah was fouled in the box and Elliott slotted home the penalty into the corner. With the game set to end in a draw, TGS broke forward and Elliott was played through 1 on 1 with the keeper and calmly slotted the ball between the goalkeepers legs and into the back of the net to win the match 2-1, much to the delight of the watching fans. Ollie was solid in goal, Tiger, Noah, Josh and Harry defended heroically. Finn, the Team Captain, Tom, Brayden and Dan bossed the midfield and Elliott and Harry were dangerous up front. Nathan and Alex also contributed well off the bench. Elliott was Man of the Match. On Wednesday 24th January, the Year 7 and Year 8 A & B Netball teams hosted Glebe House. The A team won 14 - 0. Alexia was Captain and Glebe voted Elysia the Player of the Match. The B Team drew 7 - 7. Ella was captain and Glebe voted Erin the Player of the Match. Well done to all the players for taking part.

Artist of the Month - January 2024 A huge well done to Ella B in Year 7 for her recent drawing work in her Art lessons. Ella's topic work on 'tone and form' has covered drawing 3D objects using ellipses, as well as tonal pencil techniques. Ella's shiny coffee pot showcases her skills in scumbling, blending and highlighting. Fabulous work, Ella! #artist #drawing #ArtistOfTheMonth

"The support and camaraderie that I experienced at TGS allowed me the confidence to pursue a career path that at times felt out of reach, and in my opinion that is the greatest service a school can provide a student. I am forever indebted!”

We asked our Alumni to share how their time at TGS helped build their professional lives. "Without the support, extra hours and the personal touch offered by the teachers at TGS, my story could have been very different. Thank you, TGS!”
