THORNSETT PRIMARY SCHOOL

On behalf of the pupils, Governors and staff of the school I would like to welcome you to the Thornsett Primary School (a member of the High Peak Federation) website.

Thornsett Primary School
 is a place where all staff are dedicated to providing a stimulating and exciting environment where everyone feels valued and safe. Creativity and ideas can flourish and children can maximise their progress. By providing a varied and creative curriculum, which engages our children, and by promoting excellent behaviour, we aim to enthuse in all our children a desire to learn, a caring nature and a respect for one other.

Our Vision:

  • WE ARE A CARING, CAN-DO FEDERATION.
  • WE CREATE INNOVATIVE, EXCITING AND FUN LEARNING EXPERIENCES.
  • WE BELIEVE THAT OUR CHILDREN CAN ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL THOUGH BEING ADVENTUROUS AND BRAVE.
  • WE BELIEVE THIS GIVES OUR CHILDREN THE SKILLS TO THRIVE AND BE SUCCESSFUL IN LIFE.

Ofsted recognised this and judged us a 'Good' school in March 2017.

We hope you enjoy our website and are encouraged to visit us and join the Thornsett community. 

Mr Ashley Parry (Executive Head teacher)
