Hello and a very warm welcome to your August/September edition of Tadcaster Echo!
The sun is still shining and we are lapping up the last of the sunny nights before autumn arrives. We hope all our readers have had a brilliant summer whatever you have been up to.
In this issue, we showcase One Night of Classic Rock which is coming to the RileySmith Hall, Tadcaster, on Saturday 27th September.
We also take a look at Tadcaster Grammar School - offering so much more than an excellent education!
As always, if you would like more information about how you can be featured in the magazine, get in touch with a member of our friendly team who will be happy to help.
We will see you again in October, but for now sit back with a cuppa and enjoy your latest instalment of Tadcaster Echo.

Mr Andrew Parkinson, headteacher, told Tadcaster Echo: “As our school continues to grow and thrive, we take pride in supporting all our fantastic students to develop our core values of ambition, resilience, respect and responsibility, whilst constantly encouraging them to strive to be their best self.”
They have 70 acres of stunning grounds and superb sports facilities including multiple sports fields, tennis courts, astroturf pitches, basketball courts and woods for exploring and orienteering.
The wellbeing of students is central to TGS - year and pastoral leaders meet students in year 7 and stay with them throughout their five years of main school, so they really get to know each other well - this helps us support each student to grow in confidence, ambition and motivation to achieve. Their curriculum offer is broad, balanced and strengthened through an enviable range of extracurricular activities. All students are encouraged to take advantage of the many opportunities - they all have individual talents and the school experience is designed to nurture these, whatever they may be.
In addition to year 7 residentials and geography field trips, students can join visits to French or German markets, there’s a battlefield tour for year 10 history pupils and others such as theatre/ musical visits/workshops, ski-ing, as well as regional and national sporting events.
Some 99.8% of lessons are taught by highly experienced subject specialists, and each year, student academic achievements see results consistently above the national average. The Sixth Form at TGS continues this commitment to excellence - developing the whole individual where sixth formers are superb role models for younger students.
Visit on Saturday 27th September, 9am12pm and discover what a special place TGS really is.
Sixth Form Open evening, Thursday 9th October, 6pm-8pm.
