iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Thank you for visiting our school website. I hope it will give you a flavour of what our school has to offer and what makes Thurlaston School such a special place.
One of our ex-pupils put it like this: "I would just like to say a huge thank you to everyone for making my time at primary school an unforgettable experience…..I realise now that I was seriously lucky to have gone to such a beautiful school where the pupils and teachers are not just pupils and teachers but a massive family who look out for people and treat each other with respect and kindness."
We are proud of our Christian ethos which ensures that each child is treated as special and individual. Though our academic results are good we strive to ensure that our children leave us as well-balanced and enthusiastic children. If you want to find out more please contact the office for a visit.
