Congratulations to all of our amazing students collecting their GCSE and other results today! We're so proud of you all!

This Thursday from 9AM is results day for Year 11 students. Enter via main reception to collect your results, receive support for your next steps and enrol for Sixth Form.

Congratulations to all the Houghton students last term for all your involvement in charity events, house competitions, sports and academic achievements - all of these contributed to success in winning the Chelsworth House Cup. Get involved at TGS and enjoy success!

Congratulations to all our Year 13s who successfully completed their studies this year. Having gained excellent exam results they are ready to move on to the full range of destinations including City Banks, Degree Level Apprenticeships, History at Cambridge, Psychology at Durham and what is perhaps many people's dream job as quality control at a local international chocolate factory!

On Day 5 and 6 of our trip to Thailand, the students continued their work teaching English at the local primary school, followed by a visit to the town night market where they tried some local delicacies such as chicken feet and grubs.

The following day we visited Wat Phra Chom Mon temple after teaching. The next day after teaching at the local primary school, we traveled to Chaing Mai, there was lots of singing along the way. We went for a meal at a local restaurant before exploring Chaing Mai at night. The students finished off the day with a visit to KFC!

As we say goodbye to another year, here is the last Portrait before the summer break.

Have a great holiday and see you in September!

Weekly Portrait Week 38: 17th July 2026 As we come to the end of the academic year, I want to take a moment to thank you all for your support. This has been my first year as Headteacher at TGS and I have been overwhelmed by the warm welcome

More updates from Thailand: It was the first day for our students in their primary school work place, and today was all about teaching the children English introduction phrases. The TGS students made us so proud with their confidence and natural kindness; they didn't let the language barrier get in the way and the Thai students loved their Lessons.

The afternoon was spent on a litter pick around the local community.

Day 3 of our trip to Thailand, and the work begins in ernest. The morning was spent lesson planning for teaching some English to the local primary school children, followed by an afternoon of planting some Marian Plum and Cassia trees (the native tree of Thailand!)

Day 2 of our trip to Thailand...we've taken part in some language lessons, checked out the local town and paid a rainy visit to the big Buddha!
