Dear families,

Another busy and successful week at TGS culminating in an engaging Key Stage 3 Enrichment Day. We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful guests who give up their valuable time to lead sessions for our students. We also had students attend the Suffolk Youth Parliament; the event was a success, six Year 11 & Year 12s debating the cost of living crisis and sustainable living; a visit to Cambridge university, to St Catharine’s college, which inspired and enthused some of Year 12s.

As ever, we have a range of forthcoming events and opportunities for our students coming up:

  • Great Cornard Dynamos are recruiting for their U13 girls football team.

Trials for Year 7 girls take place on Saturday 30 March, 9:30 AM you can call Lisa on 07938512849 to find out more.
