Welcome!
from the Principal
As we approach the
end of the Autumn
term and the end of
2024, I am delighted,
as always, to be able
to share so many
successes with you to
celebrate the life of
Thurston Community
College and Thurston
Sixth.
As you will know from your children, and
hopefully from following us on social media and
reading our emails and letters, there is a lot
going on with trips, sports fixtures, performing
arts events and clubs. This is all in addition to the
daily life of the College with engaging lessons
across the curriculum, tutors and pastoral teams
working to support the wellbeing of all of our
students.
None of this could happen without our hard
working team of teachers and associate staff
who often go above and beyond expectations,
both individually and collectively, to ensure that
our young people have the best experience at
the College.
We continue to strive for even better things and
as we begin 2025 we will be reminding all
students of our expectations, in school, in
classrooms and around the site, ensuring that
they are focused for learning and that all of our
young people feel confident in our community to
be able to learn and thrive here at TCC. We thank
you for your ongoing support of what we are
trying to build here at TCC for all of our young
people, the collaboration between home and
school is crucial in achieving future success.
I wish you and your families a happy and restful
Christmas and we hope that 2025 brings
happiness and success for everyone in our
College community.
We welcome students back on Monday 06
January 2025 in a Week 2 timetable.

News from the Thurston
Sixth Student Union
Hello all and welcome to the TCC Student News
article. Today we are going to explore our school
and the Student Leadership Team. First, we have
our Student and Deputy Student Principals
talking about their progress and what they are
doing to make our school the best it can be.
Then we will go to Mrs Webdale to find out what
our Junior Prefects have been up to.
which shall affect us very positively for years to
come.
The Junior Prefects have been working hard over
the term too, under the leadership of Mrs
Webdale. The Junior Prefects assisted with the
Gatehouse collection by carrying donation boxes
which were collected from tutors who took part
in the reverse advent calendar. Gatehouse is a
charity based in Bury St Edmunds who lend a
helping hand in communities across West Suffolk
and Thurston Community College has
contributed by running the reverse advent
calendar for at least 5 years, if not more. The
items from the reverse calendar are being
donated to families who are in desperate need
this Christmas. On the 18th of December, the
Junior Prefects are also hosting an awards
ceremony for a group of primary school students
who entered a creative writing competition in the
TCC Library from 4-5pm. All the entries will be
read and then the winners and runner ups will
be awarded prizes; hot chocolate and biscuits
will be served on site. Additionally, on parents
evening, the Junior Prefects were handing out
drinks and snacks and directing families around
the school. In conclusion, the Junior Prefects are
kind, helpful and valuable people whose work
around school is incredibly useful and beneficial
to our community.
There has been lots of progress within not only
the Student Leadership Team, but also our
school community. Much of the credit for this
can go to our recently voted in Student
Principals, Beau and Ellie with a lot of help from
the Deputy Student Principals, Emilia and Mary.
Although they have only been in for one school
term they have made tremendous progress and
effort to help improve the school and its student
experience. To start with, they have said that
they have now implemented signs into the
maths block toilets as well as chasing up
improving the field’s new football nets.
Furthermore, they are pushing to make changes
regarding completing the promises made in their
manifestos. They are doing this by chasing
teachers up on ways to install their ideas which
we as students wanted and still want to happen.
Beau and Emilia are soon to meet with Mr
Mulcahy to discuss the rules and changes to
homework while Mary and Ellie are meeting with
Mr Horne to try and coordinate and share their
thoughts on a late policy to try and remove Now you've heard about everything to do with
stress from many students and also to
our Student Principals and our Junior Prefects.
potentially add in a new rewards system. It is fair We’ve done it all in such little time in our winter
to say that they are extremely passionate about term - if we have managed to do this in 14 weeks
making changes for the benefit of our college we can't wait to see what we can accomplish
4 5
before the end of the year and what further
ideas will be put in place in the new year. We
don't know about you but we are excited to see
what we can accomplish for the years to come.
Thank you for reading and don't forget to look
out for and read any further #TCCLife
magazines.

The Student Leadership Hub and news studio has
received a makeover!
Our Student Union is at the heart of
Thurston Sixth. Take a look below for more
information on the SU, in their own words.
Who are we?
A group of Year 12 and Year 13 students
representing the Sixth Form student body.
We are all passionate about student
leadership and we wanted to become
members of the Student Union to take an
active role in the Thurston Sixth
community.
What do we do?
We are the team that organises both
fundraising and social events. We help to
select the charities we support throughout
the year and run annual events such as the
5-a-side Beyton Cup, Dodgeball
tournaments and the Year 13 Prom. We
also provide a student voice and meet
regularly with the Head of Sixth Form.
December is a busy month for us with
Christmas events including decorating the
campus and our tree, Christmas Jumper
Day and our Christmas Lunch and Quiz.
Join us!
All new students at Thurston Sixth can
apply to be part of our team. We begin
recruitment each September.

Joining Our Community
Transition Coordinator’s Message
As autumn has turned to winter, our focus has turned to celebration and
festivities in the transition team:
Most recently, we have had some beautiful submissions to the TCC
Community Creative Writing Competition around the theme of 'The
Unexpected Gift'; it's been lovely to see our local Year 5 and 6 students
sharing their creative talents with us and we look forward to celebrating with
many of our entrants at our awards ceremony over a cup of hot chocolate
and festive treat or two before the term ends.
I've also enjoyed further visits to Year 6s in their own classrooms alongside some of our
Junior Prefects to talk to the students about their exciting last chapter at primary school as
well as exploring some of the highlights they can look forward to once they make the move
to secondary school next year. By completing a growth mindset activity and answering lots
of burning questions, we're already seeing some of those nerves turn to excitement.
Opportunities to join us here at TCC for U9 and U11 sporting events have continued with Will
Hopkin-Jones and the Gipping Valley and Thurston School Sport Partnership. Dodgeball has
been the most recent tournament and our Sports Hall was packed with enthusiastic, very
focused teams ready to battle it out while some of their families joined me for rather a more
relaxed time in some of our PE classrooms just next door where we could talk about primary
school and transition over a few refreshments, keeping a keen eye on the competition raging
next to us!
With Christmas on the horizon, many of our larger Year 7 primary cohorts have been
involved with sending Christmas wishes back to their Year 5 and 6 teachers to share how
they're getting on here at TCC; the photo shoots for the cards was utterly festive and full of
happy memories with primary school pals.
We look forward now to events in the new year: 2025 is just around the corner and it will
bring my move into a new role as Year Leader for our next group of Year 7s; I look forward to
getting to know our current Year 6s more, both in their own classrooms and by inviting them
here to TCC to start to get to know us better too. 2025 will also bring plenty of opportunities
for both our Year 5 and 6 community to join us for events such as matinee performances of
our big shows, 'We Will Rock You' and 'Annie', as well as an exciting collaborative project in
connection with former TCC staff member, Clarissa Grandi and her inspiring 'Artful Maths'.

We hope our main feeder primary schools enjoyed
their Christmas cards, which featured students who
were in their Year 6 classes last year!

Year 7
Head of Year’s Message
Year 8
Head of Year’s Message
As we approach the first Christmas Holiday for year 7, we reflect on an amazing
first term for the year group. It is great to see how well they have settled into their
routines and when I have spoken to many across the year group, they feel very
much a part of the community here at TCC.
We have many things to celebrate this term. Firstly, the whole year group
participated in the "Last Choir Standing" which I was blown away by every
student joining in and being part of each song and dance performance on the
stage. Throughout the term, we have had success on the sports front with both
our football teams and netball teams doing really well and competing against
other schools. The sporting experience will continue the final week of term with the year 7's first
ever House Matches where they will compete in Football, Netball, Handball and Lineball to see
who is the strongest House!
Each tutor group was brilliant in creating their reverse advent calendar for the Gatehouse charity
and every contribution from each student will mean a lot to someone in need this Christmas. On
the Christmas theme, we had over 250 students taking part in the Christmas dinner celebrations
where there was lots of eating, singing, dancing and a Christmas quiz!
Recently we had an assembly on showing gratitude and students were able to take a card to give
to someone they wanted to show their appreciation to and it was lovely to see so many students
take the cards and give these to friends and teachers across the school.
In the last week of term, we have had the pleasure to receive so many applications to be the
Head of Year 7 and to be part of the student leadership team. Mr Scarfe and Mrs Dunsdon were
able to interview 19 students who all showed such a high level of maturity and interest in the roles
and we will be looking to inform them all of their different roles moving forward to support student
voice and support in the year group.
All of this will be celebrated in a final End of Term celebration assembly on the final day of term.
This will allow us to acknowledge the hard work and efforts made by so many students this term.
To give you all an amazing statistic that year 7 has been awarded over 38, 500 House points
across this first term which is OUTSTANDING! We very much hope this momentum is carried
forwards into the Spring term after Christmas.
Wow! Another amazing half term for the Year 8s.
Academically, it is so lovely to see different students each week on the house
point leader board; it shows just how hard they are working in lessons.
Pastorally, uniform, jewellery and phones are still a concern with some students
and this will continue to be our focus in the new year. As a personal plea, we
would like to recommend that if your child has something that is valuable or
sentimental, you encourage them to keep these items safe at home, as they
risk being broken, lost or, if being used inappropriately, confiscated.
Last week we had our Christmas meal and with the exception of a handful, the whole year group
enjoyed a beautiful meal. There were lots of cheers, laughter and it was fabulous to see a few
singing and even dancing! This is particularly exciting to hear, as we have a couple of fabulous
songs for the year group to sing in our Celebration Assembly!
The TCC house system is now fully underway and in our final assembly we will be looking at
which house will be our first winner! Two of the key activities this term which contribute to the
winner are the Taskmaster Challenge and the Inter House sports day. The Taskmaster theme was
to capture a moment that demonstrates you having the most festive fun and I have to say we
have a worthy winner! All students participate in some way or other in the intersports competition,
featuring a number of different sports. To really increase the tension, these are taking place this
week! It was wonderful to see the tutor groups getting into their houses and signing up! It
created a really encouraging team spirit!
We are so incredibly proud of our Year 8s. It's been an incredibly long term, they have just
finished their assessment window and they are so tired. Despite this, they remain so positive and
cheerful!
We’re so looking forward to seeing their progress and adventures in the new year!
Have a fabulous, safe holiday.
Ms Osborne - Head of Year 8
Both myself and Mr Scarfe wish you all an amazing and well earned Christmas break and a
Happy New year and will look forward to seeing you all in January!
Mr Chubb - Head of Year 7
Congratulations to our Year 8 Netball team, who won 9 - 0
against Breckland School this term.

Year 10
Head of Year’s Message
Well this marks the end of the first term with this lovely bunch. It has been a long
one but we have certainly finished on a high with these last couple of weeks.
I continue to be impressed with the kindness and general spirit of the year group
and how much they can come together.
Sporting Success
I would firstly like to acknowledge the sporting success of the Year group this
last half term. We have had football success, for both boys and girls, Netball,
and Badminton to name a few. We are also wishing Ruby in 9B all the best as she represents
Great Britain in the Tchoukball Team Championships over in Geneva this weekend. We are very
proud of you Ruby! We are also very proud of the amazing Year 9 Dance academy which has a
record number of members across Year 9, who have been working amazingly hard for the Winter
Showcase and beyond. It was so great to see so many of you up on that stage!
Spreading a little Appreciation
Last week I challenged Year 9 to spread some more kindness through our Appreciation assembly.
They were tasked with sharing their appreciation with family, friends and staff. It was so lovely
seeing the positive impact this had on staff who had received a card.
Spreading some Christmas Cheer
We have certainly played our part in spreading some Christmas cheer including amazing
contributions to the Gatehouse reverse advent calendar as well as taking on the Taskmaster
challenge to make decorations and embrace the festive cheer.
My favourite part of this week though, has got to be the amazing Year 9 Christmas dinner we had.
Over 150 students joined in with amazing spirit. We had a lovely Christmas dinner, wearing our
festive attire while enjoying our table decorating competition and our Christmas Quiz. Well done
to the boys and their amazing light up Christmas tree and the girls and their festive drawings
which certainly brightened the room.
The new year will bring new choices, new opportunities and I am sure many more successes and
positive experiences. Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year as well as a very well
deserved break.
Ms Allcock - Head of Year 9
As we approach the end of the
first full term of the academic
year and reflect upon what our
students have achieved since
joining year 10, I feel
incredibly proud and inspired
by our year group. Not only
have year 10 shown
incredible maturity and
commitment to their GCSE
study, they have also made many positive
contributions to our community, including
welcoming new students, organising collections
for our Gatehouse charity hampers and taking
part in a wide range of extra curricular activities.
Year 10 students are now fully settled into their
GCSE courses and I could not be more proud of
the calm and focused atmosphere I see when I
visit lessons. The vast majority of year 10
continue to make the effort to get it right every
single day and we are thankful for the excellent
behaviour and attitude they display.
I would like to say a special well done to
everyone who has worked hard to secure a
work experience placement as well as complete
their Unifrog placement form; almost half of the
year group now have work experience
organised and finalised for the week of May
19th - 23rd. The work experience process
reflects the reality of applying for a job and
therefore has presented many of the real life
challenges that applying for employment can
bring. I am impressed by the resilience, maturity
and perseverance that year 10 students have
demonstrated throughout this process and I
have no doubt that they are going to make
excellent contributions when the week of 19th
May arrives. The deadline for work experience
to be finalised, including all paperwork to be
signed off on Unifrog, is February 14th. For
anyone who is struggling to find or secure a
placement, remember the Careers Hub is open
every break and lunchtime for students to drop
in; whether they still need help finding a
placement or need help with an application, Mrs
Atkins and Mrs Johnson are on hand to support
them.
number of our year group danced, sang, played
musical instruments and acted on stage, in front
of large audiences, showing off a range of talent
and teamwork. It was particularly lovely to see
so many of our year group in the audience,
supporting and cheering on their friends - year
10, you really epitomise the team work we strive
for at Thurston.
We have also seen many sporting successes
this term with the U15 Netball team recently
beating County High School. Mrs Caswell said:
“The girls were AMAZING and won 15-4.” Our
girls football team also won 3-2 in their match
against King Edwards. Well done girls!
A special thank you to our student leadership
team who have been working hard to run our
school council, keep us updated through the
news team, support our younger students and
represent the voice of their form group; they
play such a vital role in ensuring our school is a
happy environment and we are very grateful for
the time and effort which they put into this.
Our Christmas lunch last Friday saw almost 150
students joining in with Christmas celebrations
in the school canteen, where we ate a
Christmas dinner, sang songs and danced -
year 10 showed us again what a fantastically
fun year group they are. We wish all of our year
10 students a restful and fun break with their
families and friends. I am already excited for
2025 and to see where the rest of the year will
take us.

Year 11
Head of Year’s Message
Once again our Year 11s have impressed us this term with their dedication and
commitment to their studies but also their involvement in #TCCLife. It always
strikes me how, as the senior students of the school, and with so many demands
of their time academically, our students still manage to be fully involved in all
aspects of life at Thurston. There is no doubt that the focus on preparing for
exams is paramount but our students have also managed to immerse themselves
in other activities.
Year 11 had, what felt like at times, a never-ending first mock exam session in
October and into the first week of November. It was evident that the summer
exams at the end of Year 10 had prepared them with what to expect from the logistics of the
exams, but I was impressed with their positive approach to the demands of this set of exams,
impeccable conduct from the majority of our students, setting exemplary standards and
impressing our invigilation team with their exam etiquette. For our next set of mock exams coming
up in February our focus will be on ensuring that these standards are upheld, particularly our
uniform requirements. I am sure that our students will be pleased with the results they have
already received and they are already working hard with their teachers to identify areas for
improvement in preparation for the upcoming mocks next term.
Our students have also been busy exploring Post-16 opportunities with many attending our Sixth
Form Open Evening at our Thurston Sixth Beyton Campus. We have also welcomed visitors from
college providers such as West Suffolk College and Suffolk New College, as well as other
providers such as Needham Market FC Academy. We hope to be able to provide more
opportunities for our students to explore Post -16 education and employment opportunities next
term. Students have been exceptionally proactive at submitting their applications, working with
our Careers Team, Mrs Johnson and Miss Atkins, to get their applications organised.
In amongst all of this our students have also been involved in collecting their Reverse Advent
Calendars for the Gatehouse Charity, taking part in enrichment opportunities and beginning to
organise their Leavers events. Our sports teams have had success in both netball and football
fixtures, our many talented performers have participated in both the Musical Theatre Showcase
and the Winter Showcase sharing their music, acting and dance skills, students have taken part in
quizzes and House competitions in tutor time and our Prom Committee have organised ‘Candy
Christmas’ raising funds towards their Prom at the end of this year which has been incredibly
popular with students from all years. Our Student Leadership Team continue to work hard,
gathering student voice and acting upon their fellow students behalf. I know that our students will
continue to be fully involved in all aspects of school life next term, alongside their exam
preparations.
Thurston Sixth
Head of Sixth Form’s Message
It has been another busy half term at our Beyton campus. It has been a pleasure to
welcome parents and students along to our in-person consultation evenings, as well
as meeting and interviewing a number of prospective Sixth Form students who will be
joining us in September 2025. We are looking forward to meeting more of you in the
new year!
Our year 13 students have been busy completing applications for post-18 options. A
number of students have already been successful in securing offers. These include
places to study on degree courses at universities such as York, Edinburgh, St
Andrews, Leeds, Exeter and Imperial College. One of our students has secured offers
for golf scholarships at seven colleges in the United States. We also have a number of students that
have been offered places on apprenticeship and degree apprenticeship programmes in fields such as
insurance and civil engineering.
Alongside continued hard work and progress in the classroom, we have hosted a variety of events this
half term. In November, the Hall was converted into a sports court illuminated by UV lights to hold a
highly competitive dodgeball tournament. At the start of December, Politics students Lily, Joe, Harry,
Rhys and James hosted the ‘Crisis Games’. Around 40 Year 12 and 13 students put their skills of
diplomacy and negotiation to the test. The conference centre was buzzing with negotiations as teams
representing different countries navigated a variety of world events.
Our Student Union has been busy planning a variety of festive events. Last week, students and staff
donned their Christmas jumpers to fundraise for Save the Children. This week, we are hosting our
Christmas lunch, music performances, charity bingo, jolabokaflod and a Christmas quiz to complete the
final week of term.
As we look ahead to next term, the countdown is on to the UCAS application deadline and also the first
of our international trips. Twenty of our students will be departing for Panama at February half term,
ready to put their Spanish speaking skills to the test and immerse themselves in a new culture.
I am extremely proud of the way in which our students have developed this term, working with a
positive attitude and setting an example to our younger students. I hope that the Christmas
holiday will offer the opportunity to celebrate with family and friends, and take a well earned break
from studies, ready to return in the New Year for even bigger and better things!

Enrichment
Outside The Classroom
Recently Thurston Community College was asked to contribute to the magazine “Learning Outside the
Classroom Yearbook”. The publication is read widely by all those in the world of education with a
passion for ensuring young people have the opportunity to take part in visits and residential trips over
the course of their school years. The college is committed to the development of our enrichment
programme. We offer subject based visits to support the learning taking place in the classroom and for
every year group we now offer a residential visit. The autumn term has seen our students going off to
multiple places of interest both locally in Suffolk and in London.
This term in review
WATCH: Griff from Student News finds out what Ms Taylor gets up to over
Christmas and learns about her highlights from this term.
In the Spring term our students will continue to be offered fantastic opportunities to journey to locations
and settings of interest within this country, alongside residential visits overseas. Many of our main school
Year 11 GCSE History students have signed up to go to the Battlefields of the Somme, Belgium. Then
we also have 20 of our Thurston Sixth students off to Panama on what will be an experience of a
lifetime. The College has been successful in securing funding from the Turing Scheme such that we
have been able to offer heavily subsidised places not only for student to go to Panama but also in May
2025 a further 20 students from Thurston Sixth will be off to Thailand. Over the past 4 years our Post-16
students have been to Nepal, Cambodia and Tanzania; who knows which destinations might be on the
cards for 2026! Watch this space!
Science Club at TCC
Here at the college we look to enrich the
experience of our students through a whole variety
of different practical activities both within the
classroom environment and outside of timetabled
lessons. These activities involve Science clubs,
events and visits. One of the Science clubs is
aimed at the younger age group, the eleven and
twelve year old students. The experience within the
Science Department builds upon the foundations
established during the students’ primary school
years; offering them further opportunities to gain
those hands-on activities and try some
experiments from outside of the general
curriculum. This autumn, our students have had a
fabulous time making their own cheese, plastics
and slime. By the end of the term they will have
learnt about the science behind fireworks and
you’ve guessed it - they will also have completed
some very Christmassy science activities!
Raffy writes: “Science Club is a club that you can
always look forward to on Wednesdays. With fun
experiments to do using microscopes; creating
cheese and making plastic. These are just some of
the things we have done. Miss Rolfe runs the club
and she is a great teacher, who always has a smile
on her face. It is in room 204 and it starts straight
after school and ends at 4:40pm.”
Laura writes: “Science Club is exciting as you do
lots of cool stuff and new experiments that we
haven’t done in class. So far, we have made slime,
plastic and cheese using Bunsen Burners. We
have looked at our own cheek cells using a
microscope. We also got to use the microscopes to
look at other microscopic things because we had
lots of time to do so.”
I am sure you will enjoy reading the words of these
two very enthusiastic students. Both are
exceedingly precise in their level of detail; a skill
which will set them in good stead should they
choose to pursue a future career within the field of
science.
