Welcome to Thornhill Primary School. We are one of the top performing schools in Dunstable and Houghton Regis. Our team of Eco Warriors make sure that we are looking after the planet. Thornhill Primary School - Rated 'GOOD' by OFSTED We are very excited to welcome you to Thornhill Primary School which is expanding to a three form entry school based across two school sites.
The school now consists of the Grove Road site located in Houghton Regis and the new Silver Birch site, located in the new Linmere Development. Both buildings are open and are one school. All children benefit from the resources that we have across the two sites.
