Staff were back in school today for a great INSET training session with Will Ord from Thinking Education. The day focussed on creating great learners and was a super start to the year - thank you Will!

We are thrilled to share the fantastic results from our ISI inspection.  Thorngrove was found to have met the standard in all areas which is the highest grade possible under the new framework. We are also incredibly proud to have been awarded a rare ‘significant strength’!

We are delighted to announce the school charity for the year @swingsandsmiles Chosen by the children this is a wonderful local charity offering support for disabled children and their families. We are looking forward to working with them again this year to raise lots of money!
