Working within Thornhill Primary School is a privilege and I am thrilled to hold the position of Headteacher. Thornhill is a small school with wonderful staff, children and families at the heart of the community.

The school is a very special place and each child is valued and supported to be the very best they can be. We have high expectations and standards and work to ensure that all our children are given the best possible opportunities to learn and develop. Our staff work in partnership with home and this supports our children along their learning journey.

School is a happy and safe place to be and as staff support one another, so do our children. The nurture of people is of upmost importance and this allows them to flourish and reach their potential. There is a positive approach to mental health and wellbeing for all and we champion this within school.

We work to share practice and provide a wealth of training and development opportunities. The school is well resourced and there is excellent access to technology and support staff to assist with this.

The curriculum is broad and balanced and core subjects are a key focus. However, it goes wider than this by providing children with enriched opportunities in sport, the arts and life experiences. They develop strong friendships; learn about relationships, challenges and commitment to learning and life. The curriculum goes beyond our locality and we work to develop our children’s social conscience, their understanding and appreciation of difference and diversity and their awareness of the world around them, including their responsibility within this. Our outdoor areas allow children to experience the curriculum through practical learning and exploration.

Our passion and vision is to change lives through learning and prepare children for their future education and place in the world.
