As a fully inclusive, co-educational school, we are proud to celebrate our students’ excellent all-round achievements, and the enormous value we add to their learning, from Nursery to GCSE.
We challenge our pupils to outperform, whatever their ability. We seek out individual talents and actively encourage the best in everyone. At Thorpe Hall School, all students are motivated to enjoy a myriad of new and exciting opportunities and experiences. We pride ourselves on the individual attention we offer every child, whatever their age and whatever their needs.
Our mission is clear, our promise secure, and our commitment is genuine and unwavering. We are a school that listens, and every child’s voice is heard. Our open-door approach helps foster a refreshingly honest, active and forward-thinking school community.
This website will give you a first glimpse of the Thorpe Hall adventure, but the School is best experienced in person. You are most welcome to visit us for a tour of our School and a chat with our team.
We look forward to meeting your family.

We are excited to announce that Thorpe Hall School will be offering 24 GCSE options in addition to the core subjects from September 2026.
We will be adding a GCSE in Economics to our extensive offering. You can see the current (2025/26) GCSE Options booklet on our website.
In Mathematics, we offer students the option to study Statistics and Further Mathematics. In Science, students can opt for the Combined Science: Trilogy award, or study the three science subjects (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) as separate GCSEs.
Business offers GCSE Business and BTEC Business; similarly in Physical Education, students can choose between the GCSE and the BTEC course.
Our broad range of choices allows students to select a diversified, personalised combination of subjects to best suit their interests and support their aspirations. And all subjects are taught in small groups, allowing for a superb staff to student ratio - in fact our average class size in the core subjects at GCSE is just 13.

At the end of the academic year, the Lammert family generously established a new accolade within our school community: the Head Student’s Teacher Award. Created to recognise outstanding dedication, support, and inspiration shown by a member of the teaching staff, the award celebrates those who make a lasting impact on students’ educational journeys.
We are proud to announce that Emilie, last year's Head Student, chose to present the inaugural award to Mr. Boxall, her Business Teacher.
The Lammert family’s initiative serves as a meaningful way to honour exceptional educators, and we are delighted to see Mr. Boxall recognised as the first recipient of this prestigious new award. The Lammert Family will continue to fund this award each year.
