Tadcaster Grammar School is so much more than a secondary school. It plays a big part in the wider community in and around Tadcaster, and has ever since Owen Oglethorpe established the original school in 1557.
We are proud that our students enthusiastically take part in the many fundraising opportunities TGS offer them – taking part in activities and raising money for a variety of charity events and organisations – locally and nationally.
Over recent times we have been overwhelmed by donations made by our students’ families in aid of:
- Wetherby & District Foodbank
- Comic Relief and Sports Relief
- Cancer Research
- Breast Cancer Research
- MIND
- Dementia Forward
- Autism Awareness
- and so many more,,,
Our amazing House Champions and School Council make the difficult choice of which charities we support and help run many of our fundraising activities.
Wetherby & District Foodbank are a favourite each year as we collect for Christmas Hampers – each form are tasked with the challenge to make a fantastic Christmas Hamper: the results are always creative and filled to the brim with generous donations.
Please email c.thompson@tgs.starmat.uk if you would like more information on our fundraising activities, thank you.


We are aware that not everyone is in the position to donate to every charity event and are grateful for any donation. Thank you to our fabulous students, staff and community for their on-going generosity – you really are your best selves!
