Mrs Tania Grigg appointed Head of Sixth Form

We are pleased to announce that Mrs Tania Grigg has been appointed Head of Sixth Form, effective from Easter.

Mrs Grigg has been Head of Geography and Strategic Lead for Teaching & Learning at TGGS since 2017. She began her teaching career teaching in London, but for the past 25 years has been teaching geography in Devon. She has worked in a variety of local schools, most recently as Head of Humanities at Clyst Vale Community College.

In her role as Head of Sixth Form, Mrs Grigg will oversee the academic and pastoral care of all 16-19 students. She is also directly responsible for any student in year 13. Her vision is to lead a sixth form that inspires learning to ensure our students can fulfil their potential and secure brilliant outcomes, giving them the best possible transition into adult life. She firmly believes in offering every opportunity to develop confident, mature and engaging young people who believe in themselves and are ready to embrace their opportunities and challenges as young adults.

Addressing sixth form students, she said "I will look forward to providing the support and the guidance that will enable you to fulfil your goals and ambitions. The chance to lead you makes me enormously proud and I am looking forward to working with all of you to make TGGS Sixth Form the place you want to be, and are proud to be."

When not at work, Mrs Grigg loves making the best use of the Devon countryside and coast for walking with her husband, Mr Grigg, who also teaches geography at TGGS. She also enjoys sewing (especially making quilts) and cooking. Mrs Grigg has two sons, Will who is a trainee Classics teacher and Tom, who is studying medicine
