We've only been at Thornton in Craven for a year now, but it's been an absolute pleasure. The teachers are brilliant, the facilities are top-notch and the values of kindness, respect and empathy are truly instilled in the children. My child has made some wonderful friends and I've met some lovely parents too - we feel like we're part of a real community.

"Good school, some areas for improvement"
We've had a good experience at Thornton in Craven, the teachers are generally great and the school has a lovely community feel. However, I do feel that the school lunch options could be improved and the homework can be a bit too much at times. That being said, we've seen our child grow and thrive here and I'm grateful for that.
