My experience has been absolutely horrible. I would not recommend it to anyone that is going to join. They do nothing about bullying and racism they just turn a blind eye even when someone is unsafe or in danger. I would rate this rubbish school 0 stars if I could. *(May 2025)* - **2/5** — THORNHILL LOVES THE ATTENTION!: THORNHILL ONLY CARES ABOUT REPUTATION! This school hires people who couldn’t care less for the students and only “does” when ofsted comes around. And don get me started on the rasism! I am appuled about there behavier! PLEASE just read this and give it a thought about solving this problem! *(Feb 2024)* - **1/5** — Thornhill reveiw: The school does not care for anything but their reputation. They do not care about the students. I have seen for myself how they do nothing when they see a student getting picked on, they let student do whatever. The school is careless with education. Students that have no clue of anything in lessons are put in the highest sets. If you want a good education do not come to this school . *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — No action towards bulling and prejudice: The school never takes action,they only care about there freaking reputation of u have the right jumper no on rings e.t.c , we have had like 3 fights in the school , people continue to bully each other but when we report what they only do is shout at the bully’s or warn them, well that’s not gonna solve the problem *(May 2023)* - **1/5** — Do not go to this place if you want to keep your kid bully free.: Worst place to send your kid. none of the teachers truly care about your well being they only care for the money they get. when you complain about getting bullied they act like they care but really they don't. they will pull you and the bullies and get you wrong and the bullies get off Scot free. this place is a nightmare and i hope it gets closed down for good and that area gets taken down. *(Jan 2023)* - **1/5** — Avoid Thornhill Academy At All Costs!: One star in my opinion is too many. This school is horrific! Doesn't care one bit about the pupils only about their paychecks...oh and how they look to Ofsted. They have the process down but actually following it is too much work and effort. We're not from this area and we've been treated abysmally. Teachers turn a blind eye to bullying but are on the ball when homework isn't done. Well done with your priorities. The reviews speak for themselves.
