About Us

Welcome to Thornton Grove Academy!

It is with great joy and excitement that we welcome you to Thornton Grove Academy, where a brand new chapter is beginning—and the future is bright. As Head Teacher and Executive Head Teacher, we are honoured to be leading this incredible journey together, shaping a school where every child is known, valued, and given every opportunity to thrive.

At Thornton Grove, we are more than just a school—we are a nurturing, close-knit community where children feel a true sense of belonging. Our academy may be launching into a new era, but our values remain rooted in the belief that every child is a unique individual, full of potential, promise, and purpose.

We are passionate about creating an inclusive, vibrant environment where children are inspired to learn, explore, and grow. From the moment you step through our doors, you’ll be met with warmth, kindness, and a spirit of togetherness that runs through every corridor and classroom. Here, friendships flourish, respect is mutual, and every voice matters.

Our dedicated staff team shares our vision for excellence and care. Together, we are committed to providing a safe, joyful, and engaging space where children feel confident, supported, and empowered to become the very best version of themselves.

We believe that strong partnerships with families and the wider community are key to a successful education. That’s why we place such importance on open communication, collaboration, and trust. By working hand-in-hand with you, we can create a learning environment that supports the whole child—academically, socially, and emotionally.

Thornton Grove Academy represents an exciting new beginning for us all. We are united in our commitment to building a school that reflects the highest aspirations for our children and our community.

Thank you for joining us at the start of this inspiring new chapter. We can’t wait to see what we can achieve—together.

Curriculum

At Thornton Grove Academy, our pupils are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that by building strong, supportive relationships and creating a caring environment, every child can thrive and feel a true sense of belonging.

Every moment in our academy is a chance to learn, grow, and connect. We foster a nurturing atmosphere where pupils feel safe, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential. Our approach is thoughtful and purposeful, rooted in research, and carefully designed to support success for all pupils.

Our curriculum is designed to engage and inspire our pupils, giving them a broad range of experiences, knowledge, skills and understanding which will form a strong and lasting foundation for their future education.

We aim to develop not just academic achievement, but also curiosity, confidence, and compassion. Our goal is to help every pupil become a lifelong learner and a kind, active citizen—ready to make a positive difference in the world.

At Thornton Grove, every child matters, every voice is heard, and together, we grow.
