Dear Families & Students

It’s been another positive and lively week here at Thomas Gainsborough School. We ended the week with an excellent Year 11 Revision Assembly, supported brilliantly by some of our Year 12 students. They shared practical tips and advice on how to prepare effectively for the upcoming mock exams and, of course, for the GCSEs later in the year. The focus was very much on planning ahead, developing good study habits, and finding a balance between revision and wellbeing. We were incredibly proud of how maturely our Year 11 students approached the session and how keen they were to make a strong start to their preparation. For parents and carers wishing to support at home, we have a dedicated section on our website with a wide range of revision resources, subject-specific guidance, and study strategies — you can find it here: www.tgschool.net/revision.

Rehearsals are also well underway for our school production of High School Musical, and the excitement is already building! The corridors have been filled with familiar songs and plenty of enthusiasm from our talented cast and crew. (I think it’s safe to say that some of us on the staff team may have been caught humming along too — we’re all in this together, after all!) Performances will take place from 9-12 February 2026, and we’ll share more information nearer the time about how you can get tickets and come along to support.

Next week, we’re delighted to be welcoming 12 German students and two teachers from our partner school, the Von-Müller Gymnasium in Regensburg — a beautiful city in southern Germany, close to Munich. This is part of our ongoing exchange programme, and in March our own students will have the opportunity to visit Germany in return. It’s always a fantastic experience for everyone involved and a wonderful opportunity for our students to build friendships and experience a different culture.
