Thornton Hough Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 February 2024

This is a happy school where pupils excel. Parents and carers, staff and pupils praise its 'family feeling'. Pupils' learning is steeped in the proud history and traditions of the local village, including its manor house, churches and community groups. In addition, pupils gain a first-rate introduction to their lives as responsible, respectful citizens of modern Britain. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are supported with immense warmth, care and skill by staff. The school knows pupils' learning, personal development and mental health needs comprehensively. Pupils have high emotional well-being and they feel safe at school. Pupils readily respond to the school's high expectations and they achieve remarkably well. Pupils benefit greatly from all that the school has to offer. This includes the impressive range of extra opportunities that the school provides to enhance pupils' learning of the curriculum. For example, almost every pupil attends an extra- curricular club, such as chess, reading or 'mad science' clubs. Pupils build incredibly positive relationships with one another and with staff. In lessons and during other times at school, pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They listen, show respect and give their utmost when completing their work.
