☀️That’s a wrap on our Prep Summer residential 2025. We’ve had an absolute blast! Many happy memories made that we will treasure forever. Well done Prep school, you did us all proud! 🏆

VE Day Celebrations at TGS! Today we marked VE Day with a fantastic day of celebration and remembrance at Thetford Grammar School. We kicked things off with a special Proclamation and Flag Raising Ceremony, where we took a moment to reflect on the importance of this day and remember those who served during World War Two. Then it was time for our Street Party Lunch! The bunting was up, the 1940s music was playing, and everyone enjoyed themselves in true wartime spirit. To top it all off, we had a display of World War Two memorabilia—from uniforms to artefacts—which really brought history to life. Huge thanks to everyone who shared these incredible items with us! It was a brilliant day full of learning, reflection, and community spirit. #VEDay #TGSPride #HistoryInAction #WW2Remembered #StreetParty

After a great night's sleep our Prep pupils have been busy rotating around activities including tree climbing, kayaking, biking and zip lining. We have some real thrill seekers amongst our teams here! Well done to our brave champs that jumped in the river for a post-kayak cool down.

🌱 Year 3 have been looking at Plants as part of their topic work and they've been busy planting broad beans! They then took the opportunity to do their daily reading in the outside classroom area 📚

⚽️ Last Friday, the U11 Boys Football team travelled to the superb 'The Nest' facility near Norwich to take part in a Norfolk Schools Football league competition. ⭐️ In the first game, TGS won by 2 goals to 1 with Hugo P scoring both goals. In the second game, TGS lost by 2 goals to 0 with Oskar making some excellent saves in goal. In the third game, TGS won by 3 goals to 1 with Seb, Bruce and Hugo P all scoring. ⚽️ The boys did brilliantly to finish second overall and had a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Well done to team coach Mr Tierney for all his help and guidance.

⭐️ Last week four Year 10 students headed to City of Norwich School for a Mathematical Team Challenge.⭐️ ➕ The competition kicked off with a relaxed vibe, but quickly turned intense as teams tackled tricky problems. Although our team had a slow start, they rallied and did incredibly well in the rounds that followed. One of the toughest challenges involved creating patterns from cube nets, and another required them to work through complex 'Broken calculator' problems. ➗ The highlight was winning Round 3, where they outperformed all 25 other teams. While there was no overall winner, it was a great experience for the team, and they thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. 🟰 Well done to Caron, Gabriel, Charles, and Jonathan!

🚨 Crucial Crew Safety Initiative - Year 6 🚨 Last week, Year 6 students had the incredible opportunity to attend the Crucial Crew safety initiative. This interactive event is designed for 10 and 11-year-olds and focuses on raising awareness of crime and danger in real-life scenarios. The pupils took part in around 6 theatre-style sets, each recreating potentially life-threatening situations. From crime prevention to safety measures, our students actively engaged in a range of realistic activities, learning important skills to keep themselves and others safe. We’re proud to share that they thoroughly enjoyed the experience and participated enthusiastically in every session! A big thank you to the team for making this such an impactful and engaging event for our young learners. 👏 #SafetyFirst #CrucialCrew #Year6 #LifeSkills #RaisingAwareness
