thetford grammar school
We believe in the importance of a small school setting where a detailed picture
of each pupil – their strengths, their needs, their hopes – is known by all
staff. This means we are able to set challenges appropriate to our pupils'
ability levels, ensuring that they are always being stretched to achieve the
very best of which they are capable. Small classes ensure that pupils receive
individual attention from teachers. The excellent relationships between pupils
and staff result in a strong family atmosphere. Knowing our pupils well
encourages them to take risks, safe and certain of our support for them. We
offer a wide range of extra-curricular activities because we know that
well-rounded young people are best equipped to thrive academically and socially.
Our pupils have many opportunities to develop artistic, sporting, musical and
linguistic skill through additional classes, clubs and activities. This approach
means pupils become increasingly confident, resilient and able throughout their
time with us. Our pupils achieve outstanding results at GCSE and A level, with
the majority of our Sixth Form going on to study at universities in the top tier
of UK and global rankings including Oxford and Cambridge. It is my great
privilege to lead Thetford Grammar School, I look forward to meeting you, and
your children, and introducing you to the exceptional pupils and teachers that
make us the wonderful school that we are.
