Curriculum
As a small school that specialises in academic excellence, Thetford Grammar School operates an ambitious curriculum from Nursery to Sixth Form. We believe that with individual care and expert tuition, every child can discover their own interests and refine these into the skills and talents that lead to the highest levels of success throughout life.In Prep School, our Nursery through to Year Six pupils follow our own bespoke curriculum which is intentionally broad, demonstrating the connectivity between subject areas as well as giving every child the opportunity to develop intellectual curiosity and explore their academic potential. The Senior School builds on this breadth of opportunity in Years Seven and Eight, with pupils introduced to the greater depth of subjects and provided with suitable levels of challenge to help build the skills required at GCSE and A level.Most pupils will study between nine and eleven GCSEs, with optional subjects selected in Year Nine, some elements of these courses begin at that time in preparation for Years Ten and Eleven. During GCSE studies, we help our pupils see the connections between these qualifications and their further studies at A level and beyond.

Things to note
Music
The Music Department at Thetford Grammar School is at the heart of the school community. The Department takes an active part in the very busy musical life of the school, performing in many concerts and events in the local area. We have a team of highly experienced visiting teachers and operate as a centre for Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music practical and theory exams. We believe that music plays a vital role in developing social, emotional and intellectual skills for life. All pupils are involved in music-making, whether through the curriculum, singing in the Choir, through one of the many ensembles, or through events such as the keenly fought House Music Competition.
Sport
Physical Education and Sporting activity is an essential part of the development of young people. It improves pupils health and well-being as well as improving self-confidence. At TGS, the pupils have the opportunity to take part and learn new skills in a variety of activities throughout the year as well as getting involved in the extra-curricular programme and challenge themselves in matches against other schools. The teams have been very successful and many pupils go on to reach high levels in Sport during their time at the school and after.
