"A Great Start for our Little One"

We were a bit nervous about sending our child to school for the first time, but the staff at Thornton Dale CofE Primary School have made us feel so welcome. The school's approach to learning through play and real-life experiences is exactly what we want for our child. The after-school clubs are also a great addition!

"Mixed Feelings about our Experience"

We had a bit of a rollercoaster experience at Thornton Dale CofE Primary School, with some great teachers and some not so great. The school's values are lovely, but sometimes we felt like the children were not given enough autonomy to make their own choices. However, our child did make some wonderful friends and we're grateful for that.
