"Wonderful Community at Thurton"

We moved to Thurton from the city and it's been a game changer for our little one. The school's values of 'Enjoy, Achieve, Believe' really shine through in the way the teachers and staff care for the children. The SMUGA (Sports Multi-Use Games Area) is a bonus - our son loves playing there with his friends after school.

"Good but some room for improvement"

We've had a mixed experience at Thurton. The teachers are generally great and the facilities are good, but sometimes the communication between the school and parents can be a bit lacking. We've also had some issues with bullying, which the school is trying to address. Overall, we're happy but think there's room for improvement.

"Exceptional Education"

We have two children who attended Thurton and both thrived in the caring and supportive environment. The school's commitment to outdoor learning and community engagement is impressive and we're so grateful for the opportunities they had. We highly recommend Thurton to anyone seeking an excellent education for their child.
