Welcome to Thorpe Hall School

Thorpe Hall School is a non-selective, co-educational, independent day school with small class sizes, excellent facilities and outstanding results.

Our pupils have a happy and positive school life, rich in variety. There is a wealth of opportunity for them to be challenged, supported and successful. We place great emphasis on teaching pupils how to learn and how to develop the skills they need to become life-long learners so that, wherever life takes them, they can be the best they can be.
