About
School overview

School is closed to pupils today, Friday 9 January 2026 , due to potentially hazardous weather conditions. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding. Welcome to Thorns Primary School. Safe, happy, learning : the three words that describe our aim for every child. Our school vision is, "Every child is safe, happy and learning because every adult is caring, happy in their work and skilled." I am very proud to be the Head Teacher of this lovely school! Since I started here in September 2018 there have been many changes and much effort has gone into making vast improvements, both to our core offer and to the site itself. We offer a safe, secure and welcoming environment in which all can thrive. Our children are a delight: happy, well-behaved and hard-working. They are well supported by a team of dedicated staff, who work extremely hard to do their best for every child and make their time at Thorns happy and successful. We are a diverse school community and we embrace this; it makes life here more exciting!
