Our Community

Welcome back one and all, from EYFS to Sixth Form. In a break from their studies, some of our fresh-faced Year Twelve students have already begun planning how they will help lead the TGS community into another wonderful school year #boardingschool #TGSTogether #TGSPathways #JourneyOfDiscovery #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

We are delighted to invite you to our Whole School Open Day on Saturday 1st October 2022 from 10:00am until 1:00pm. All departments will be open and running linked interactive activities on the theme 'What does it mean to be human'. A great morning of exploring the topic, meeting our staff, and finding out more about your child's educational journey at TGS. Email admissions@thetgram.norfolk.sch.uk or go to our TGS Future Events page to book your place.

Every Tuesday, Mrs Settle visits the Reception class to read stories to the pupils. Over the last two weeks, the children have been busy doing something a little bit different with the help of Mrs Settle. By recycling old books and learning the art of paper folding they have made their very own hedgehog books. Don't they look brilliant! #TGSTogether #TGSPathways #JourneyOfDiscovery #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

On Monday, TGS welcomed back Andrew Nattrass, supported by Frank Johnstone, to deliver a driver safety awareness session to current Year 12s. The session covered wide-ranging aspects of road safety including the ‘Fatal 4’ - seat belts, drink/drug-driving, inappropriate speed and use of a mobile device. The session also included an update on the laws around the use of e-scooters. While at times hard-hitting, the content of the session was powerful and gave food for thought for our newly qualified, newly learning, and 'those just thinking about it' drivers. Better to be safe, not sorry - a vital session for all our young (and old!) drivers alike. #TGSTogether #TGSPathways #JourneyOfDiscovery #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

Some of our Prep children have taken it upon themselves to care for our local environment by organising and running a weekly litter picking club. They group together, decide upon an area to tidy and get to work. Their responsible actions show pride in keeping their school a safe and tidy place for all. #TGSTogether #TGSPathways #JourneyOfDiscovery #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

Thetford Grammar Prep School had the pleasure of hosting artist and printmaker, @ameliabowman for a workshop on Thursday 19th May. Pupils in Years 1-3 have been looking at Amelia Bowman in relation to their current topic on famous places and faces and decided to focus on local artists, and with her work based on prints of local locations she fitted the bill perfectly. During the workshop pupils learnt how to make their very own sticky print plate using a range of textures, and then printed these in two separate ways. The first way demonstrated how pupils could use poster paint to achieve a colourful print, and the second way was a very simple version of Chine Collé where pupils printed onto patterned paper. Pupils created some fantastic work and all thoroughly enjoyed the workshop. #TGSTogether #TGSPathways #JourneyOfDiscovery #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

🇬🇧 Year 5 are in full swing with their Jubilee celebrations this morning. They have been busy decorating biscuits with fondant icing and painting abstract silhouettes of the Queen whilst listening to a selection of British pop music. We are looking forward to this afternoon's Jubilee picnic in the sun! ☀️
