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.
The Prep School Thoughtings Club met again last week to play with ideas of Philosophy through poetry. The poem 'Pencil Person' was beautifully read by Elysia and all pupils utilised classroom materials to make their very own pencil person.
Discussions followed that included asking how many things made up the 'pencil person'. Pupils disagreed as to whether the pencil person was a 'whole' or made up of many parts. They also discussed what was important in deciding how many parts made up the pencil person.
This led on to the overall philosophical question of 'what is human' and 'what makes a person a person'- a move beyond thinking just of the physical! Particularly impressive was Olivia who started to question if we should think of a person more in terms of their mind rather than their body parts. Well done all!

Mrs Butler-Hand was very impressed with the Year 5 recorder playing this morning. Under the excellent direction of Mrs Weyers, they have been perfecting their recital of a descant, treble and tenor recorder piece in preparation for Friday's class assembly. We are looking forward to having our parents on site for a musical, dance and drama performance!

"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!”
