- **4/5** — Excellent choice for our child: Having gone around all the open nights as my daughter is transferring at this school are my thoughts. Thornhill - My wife went to Thornhill back in the day and will tell you it was the best days of her life and is very keen for our daughter to go too.

- **1/5** — I went there and the teachers are nothing but bullies: I went there and the teachers are nothing but bullies. The new principal is horrific and actively slandered other schools infront of us pupils. I was severely bullied for being from a council estate and the school said it was my own fault I was bullied… I would never send anyone there it is atrocious *(Mar 2025)*
- **5/5** — Went to Thornhill myself (left in 2015) and think it’s a brilliant school: Went to Thornhill myself (left in 2015) and think it’s a brilliant school. As a teacher myself now I can tell you it’s heads and shoulders above many schools and I wouldn’t hesitate to send any girls I have there. *(Feb 2025)*
- **4/5** — Very impressed with the teaching: I went to Thornhill (2010-2017) and absolutely loved it, I know some didn’t but I wouldn’t be where I am now without it *(Feb 2025)*
