Thornhill Primary School is a vibrant and high-achieving school at the heart of Houghton Regis. We are proud to be one of the top-performing schools in Houghton Regis and Dunstable, with excellent results that reflect the dedication of our staff and children.

We are delighted to share our latest OFSTED report, which is overwhelmingly positive. We are especially thrilled to have achieved Outstanding for Personal Development, a recognition of our unwavering commitment to nurturing confident, resilient, and well-rounded learners. The report highlights the hard work, enthusiasm, and dedication of our entire school community.

At Thornhill, our ambition is to be the ‘beating heart’ of our growing and evolving community—a place where children thrive in an inclusive, diverse, and creative learning environment. We set high expectations and standards, inspiring every child to strive for excellence in all aspects of school life, regardless of their background.

Our commitment to children is to cultivate a love for learning. Through our bespoke, innovative, and creative curriculum, every child experiences a rich and stimulating education that prepares them for the future.

We are incredibly proud of our school community and the exciting journey ahead.

Thornhill Primary School is a growing school set across two sites expanding to 3 forms of entry. 

Grove Road Site –  This site is for our preschool, Reception, and Year 1 children.  

Silver Birch Site – Opened in September 2022. This site is for our Years 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 children but is also home to our nurture spaces, Music, Library, Science, and Geography rooms. 

We are honoured to lead a dedicated team of teachers, TAs, and support staff, who together, have created a supportive, friendly, enriching, and nurturing environment which enables all children to feel valued and safe. Together, we work towards building a brighter future for our children and the world. We aim to equip our children with all the skills they need to continue on their future learning journey. We have high expectations of both learning and progress and ensure all children, regardless of their ability, are able to access all areas of the curriculum and any extra-curricular activities held. We want to ensure all our children believe in themselves and their abilities, aspire to be the best they can be, and want to learn so that they can go on to achieve their dreams and goals.

We work in partnership with parents and carers and very much value the support and contribution they make to school life. Our ambition to be the ‘heart of our community’ has given us the passion and drive to change and adapt as our neighbourhood continues to grow.
