A level and GCSE artists were sent a brief to create a logo for Thetford Open Gardens, which will be used for years to come to give the event its own branding. Students studied other logos and created designs which had visual impact. Amelia's logo design has been chosen for Thetford Open Gardens, Qing's has been chosen to be the cover of the program. Miss Griffiths is incredibly proud of both students and the quality of their designs, both whom are considering careers within the arts.

Year 8 German students were practising their life and language skills in class shopping for souvenirs. They had to go to the bank first and ask for money, then they went to the market stalls and bought items at sometimes quite outrageous prices. But, after all, we are all a little more generous on holiday, aren’t we. Well done to the whole group! #TGSTogether #TGSPathways #JourneyOfDiscovery #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

The Earth (well the floor of the Music Room) shook to the sounds of 14 drummers after school last week as the new cohort of Whack Attack got off to a great start. Mrs Weyers was mightily impressed with everyone’s concentration, learning some tricky rhythms and making sure we were using the correct hands and sticks and also with great team spirit. To quote Oscar when he was picked up ‘I loved it!’ I think we can expect great things from this group! #TGSTogether #JourneyOfDiscovery #Muscians #PrepSchool #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

Oxford calling… Madeleine, our current School Captain and editor-in-chief of The Student Circle, has this week been offered a place to study Chemistry at Oxford University from September 2022. After reading a huge number of additional textbooks, going through a series of practice and mock interviews, and undertaking work experience placements at MRC Stem Cell Institute in Cambridge and at the Chemistry Department of Imperial College in London, Maddy was thrilled to receive her offer from Lady Margaret Hall College. Maddy said "Having spent many hours perfecting my personal statement and preparing for interview, I feel very honoured to have been selected for a place. The interview process was challenging but rewarding; it really made me push the boundaries of my A-Level knowledge further". Now, Maddy just has the unenviable task of securing two A*s and an A grade in her A-Level exams before she can take up her place. We would like to congratulate Maddy on this fantastic achievement. #TGSTogether #TGSPathways #JourneyOfDiscovery #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

Year 5 have had a fantastic first week of the new term. They have spent their time engaged in a variety of activities that have worked on developing their teamwork skills. Here are snapshots of them enjoying their outdoor scavenger hunt. Having been provided with a map, they worked together to locate the hidden letter cards from various locations around the school. They then arranged their letter cards to find they spelt out the words together, cooperate and collaborate. The children loved the challenge and have requested further scavenger hunts from Mrs Butler-Hand in the coming weeks…watch this space! #TGSTogether #JourneyOfDiscovery #ExplorationCurriculum #PrepSchool #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool

This month's artist of the month is Kezia in Year 10 GCSE Art. Kezia has created this work by painting a watercolour self-portrait and then printing an etching of the same image over the top. This work has been inspired by selected artist Guy Denning as part of her coursework and shows great refinement and skill. Great work Kezia! #TGSTogether #TGSPathways #Artists #YoungArtists #Graphics #ThetfordGrammarSchool #Norfolk #Suffolk #IndependentSchool #BoardingSchool
