The Staff Social Committee promotes social activities for staff with end-of-term socials at a variety of local venues and a regular Friday Club where staff meet for coffee, tea and biscuits. Staff meet for annual celebrations such as Christmas mulled wine, our carol service, concerts, plays and productions; there are end-of-term staff lunches. There is a strong House Culture and all new members of staff are assigned to one of our five Houses. You will then be encouraged by your House to take part in the wide variety of house activities including staff vs students sports, fundraising activities, Sponsored Walk and the House Shout. You will have a vote for Head Girl and Head of House elections. The new Sports Hall provides a fitness suite, with £50,000 of machines, and is free for staff use.

Working at TGGS 

There is a buzz and vibrancy about our school. Our partnerships are enriching our experience: one example is membership of SWAT, a Trust with 11 other top performing grammar schools, which delivers huge benefits to both staff and students.  As an Academy we have more control over our affairs and destiny. We have currently bid for a further new building. I hope that this gives you a flavour of life at TGGS. It is a supportive and happy place to work.  

Torquay’s position makes it convenient for the outstanding natural beauty of both Dartmoor and the South Devon coast. Devon beaches are some of the best in the country and you can get away from the stresses of life by walking on the rugged moors. The beautiful cathedral city of Exeter is on your doorstep, as is the City of Plymouth with its rich maritime history. There is a unanimous feeling among staff that the area is a wonderful place to bring up children.

OFSTED 

We were inspected by Ofsted in September 2011 and they judged us to be outstanding in all 22 key judgements, hence Outstanding overall. They wrote in the report that “Staff morale is very high.”
