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.

On Friday, we were visited by Dawn Wood of Row Aurora - Conquering Oceans for the planet, who came to speak to our school about Plastic Pollution. Row Aurora's mission is to raise awareness about the problem of plastics polluting the world’s oceans and to encourage others to reduce and recycle their single use plastics.

Dawn undertook the massive task of rowing 3000 miles across the Atlantic Ocean last year, solo and unsupported, joining just 6 other women who have ever done this. She is now raising money for the Marine Conservation Society.

If you'd like to support Dawn, you can visit her Just Giving page www.justgiving.com/fundraising/rowaurora or find out more on the website: rowaurora.co.uk/mission/
