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

Well done Year 3! This year Thetford Town Council’s Christmas theme is Narnia and the festivities are being kicked off with the Narnia Trail (launched Friday 29 November at 6pm at Whitehart Street).

"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!”

Year 11 had a great first afternoon on their Silver Duke of Edinburgh Expedition in the Yorkshire dales on Thursday 11th April. They did a four mile familiarisation walk around Malham. On Friday they set off on the first full day of the Expedition. All are doing well.
