It's been a challenging time filled with twists, turns, ups and downs, but we have come through it, successfully, together!
Our hard-working teaching team are enjoying a well-earned Summer break now, but we simply had to share a few of the wonderful comments about them from our parent community.
We've been blown away by the praise and appreciation we've received. We know how hard all our teachers have worked, but it means more than anything to know our Thorpe Hall parents think we've done a great job too!
All our Thorpe Halll students and families deserve a huge thank you too. Our success in rising to this time is as much down to them! It's thanks to the way our teachers, students and parents have come together, across our community, that we have been able to keep thriving, striving and providing #TheBestStart for our students, and why we always will.
If you'd like to know more about Thorpe Hall School, visit our website, or book an appointment today.

It's traditional at Thorpe Hall School for all students to come together for a day of games and activities to mark the last day of the year. In previous years we've enjoyed getting very messy during the Bubble Run and Colour Runs as well as many other fun events. This year, our new Head Boy and Head Girls, Rory, Maddie and Amelia, created a brillliant interactive quiz for all Upper School pupils to enjoy remotely with their form teachers, as an alternative way of celebrating and getting together. Congratulations to Poppy in 9C for being our overall top scorer and thanks to everyone for playing along!
Have a wonderful summer to all Thorpe Hall Families and we hope you enjoy a well deserved rest! ๐

Thank you Thorpe Hall - my children absolutely love their school and what a wonderful job you have done educating and supporting them over the last term, in very difficult circumstances ! They have had an amazing time back at school and for the first time ever don’t want the summer holidays to start !
๐BREAKING NEWS!๐
We have just had it confirmed that our Yr9 netball team have won the Borough League for the 3rd year in a row!
Being one of the smallest schools to compete, and playing against all those bigger schools in the area makes this an even greater achievement.
To win this title once is excellent, but to win it for the ๐last 3 years๐ is overwhelming! Go #TeamTHS!
Our Year 8 team also placed third in the Borough this year - another well done to them!

Earlier this year, children of Thorpe Hall School planted 420 trees in neighbouring land, one for every child in the school (plus a few more for good measure!)
We recenlty received this update from Mr Shields, who owns the land, showing how our Thorpe Hall trees are growing strong.
This event, which happened just before Lockdown, ties in with Thorpe Hall School's ongoing commitment to Sustainability, and was one of the memorable moments of community and togetherness shared by our students this year. We can't wait to get back to normal again and continue with more projects and initiatives just like this next year.
Thank you Mr Shields for sharing this video with us.
This is great!
