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.

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.
