If parents/carers living in North Yorkshire are on a low income they may qualify for Free School Meals (to apply for Free School Meals you can complete the form at (https://www.northyorks.gov.uk/free-school-meals). In addition to securing free school meals, this would also result in the school receiving Pupil Premium funding from central government which we can then utilise to support your child with additional educational opportunities. Go to this website for more details: https://www.gov.uk/apply-free-school-meals
As a school we want to open up all opportunities to all students and do not want financial difficulties to be a barrier to these opportunities for pupils. We would always welcome dialogue with parents/carers to discuss how we can offer support in these circumstances. Please feel free to contact our Pupil Premium lead in school Mrs Hubbard (v.hubbard@tgs.starmat.uk) or your child’s tutor or House Leader to discuss these matters further.

Many thanks

Dear parents, carers and students,
Firstly, I’d like to congratulate students for the way they have conducted themselves over the past two days given the enormity of the decisions from the Government to cancel the summer exams and close schools to the majority of our student body.
It is still unclear as to how grades will be awarded for years 11 & 13, but the Education Secretary has stated “We will work with the sector and [the exams watchdog] Ofqual to ensure children get the qualifications that they need.” We appreciate that this lack of clarity may still leave many students feeling anxious. It may be helpful to know that over the course of the next two weeks, TGS staff will be carefully considering the forecast grades for both year 11 and year 13 final outcomes, and we have been asked to provide well-considered, positive and professional judgements.
Although staff used the early part of this week preparing bespoke resources for year 11 & 13 revision we are now in a position where we need to reconsider this approach. For all students, it will be important over the coming months to keep active and keep learning. We will continue to provide further guidance on next steps with learning, particularly for those who are continuing with their studies at TGS.
We hope that those students who have been in school today have enjoyed the activities they have been involved with and year 11 & 13 feel they have had a fitting send off. Remember the school is not going anywhere; we will still be here for you over the coming weeks, months and years.
Be Your Best Self.
Mr A. Parkinson

Following the latest government advice, TGS will remain open but asks parents to observe the requirement that if anyone in your household has either a new, continuous cough or a high temperature (above 37.8C) then ALL members of the household must stay at home for 14 days. We will expect any staff in the same situation to do the same. We are busy preparing resources and ways for students to study from home. Thank you as always for your support.
