Thoresby Primary the National winner of The Governments Character Awards in 2017 became Outstanding in July 2016.
Our children come from a wide variety of backgrounds and we strive to nurture all their talents and help them achieve a happy, rewarding and successful time in our schools. HCAT schools are committed to identifying, nurturing and harnessing the talents of staff at all levels. Restorative practice forms the foundation of our culture.
Throughout the Trust our Staff and Children embrace this ethos and this has helped our children to thrive in a caring and inclusive environment.
