"A Great Find in Bury St Edmunds"

We were initially hesitant to move our children to Thurston C of E Primary but we couldn't be happier with the warm welcome they received. The teachers are supportive and the extra-curricular activities are fantastic. Our children have settled in beautifully and we feel confident that they're receiving a top-notch education.

"Exceptional School, Exceptional Care"

We've been with Thurston for a few years now and it's genuinely one of the best decisions we've made for our children. The staff are dedicated, kind and genuinely care about the individual needs of each child. The curriculum is engaging, and the school's commitment to community values is wonderful to see in action.
