🌍 📖 World Book Day 2026 📖 🌍

🚀📚 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

This February, our Senior School students performed the first TGS production of the year – DNA by Dennis Kelly – a powerful exploration of peer pressure, bullying and the bystander effect. From November auditions to last half term’s performances, the cast worked incredibly hard, supported by Miss Arbuthnot’s fantastic set design and the brilliant sound and lighting work of Max and Jonathan. Their maturity and professionalism in tackling such a challenging script made the final performances a real triumph. As my first production at TGS as Head of Drama, it’s been a privilege to work with such a talented group. Now, on to Prep and our upcoming production of The Lion King — Please keep an eye out for tickets when they go on sale, and remember, above all else, Hakuna Matata! Mr Ormerod

Our Year 10 students have been developing an impressive range of practical skills in DT this term 👏 As part of their projects, they have been exploring how to design and manufacture in a more sustainable way — repurposing materials and giving existing components a new life. One standout piece is a beautifully crafted stool made from reclaimed Oak worktop and Ash, showcasing precision, creativity and craftsmanship. Another project involved carefully dismantling a large pendant light and repurposing the LEDs into a completely new product — a fantastic example of thoughtful, sustainable design in action.
