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.

Class 6N are currently placing 3rd IN THE WORLD on the Spelling Shed League Tables! 🥉🎉 and it's only our 2nd week in the game!

Spelling Shed is a fantastic interactive teaching tool our Year 6s having been trialing in class. They learn through a variety of cleverly designed, engaging games and activities, and gain points for getting their spellings correct. As a class of 19 pupils, it's even more impressive to be placing 3rd, as the competing groups are mostly made up of whole year groups or even whole schools.

But most importantly, bringing tools and technologies like this into the classroom really helps enthuse our children to learn their spellings - a little bit of competition goes a long way, and we'll be introducing Spelling Shed to younger age groups very soon. Well done 6N! ... See MoreSee Less
