"Some Areas for Improvement"

I've been pleased with the school's curriculum and the opportunities provided for my child. However, I've noticed that the school app, Parent Pay, could be more user-friendly. Also, I wish there were more regular updates on my child's progress.

"Wonderful Experience at Thornhill"

I've been impressed with the school's approach to 'A School, A Family, A Community' motto. My child has made friends easily and the facilities, especially the drama club, are excellent. I've also appreciated the regular updates from the teachers and the parent-teacher meetings.

"Thornhill Prepared My Child Well"

As a former parent, I can confidently say that Thornhill Community Academy has a positive impact on a child's life. My child was well-prepared for their GCSEs and I liked the emphasis on anti-knife crime awareness through the Junior Detective Programme.
