At Thornham St James, we are a happy, welcoming and successful school and we are rightly proud of our achievements. We have a strong history of educational excellence, rooted in firmly embedded Christian values, which are lived out by every member of our community.
Our vision of ‘Journeying Together, We Shine’ (Matthew 5:16) underpins all that we do, enabling every member of our school community to flourish.
Our pupils always come first. We recognise that every child is made in the image of God, possessing unique gifts and qualities. As a community, we value and respect difference, and we are thankful for the vital role each individual plays within our school. We actively celebrate success and achievement, supporting all children to recognise, develop and appreciate their strengths so that they may truly let their light shine.
Our aspirational, broad and balanced curriculum empowers staff to create an engaging and inspiring learning environment in which every child can thrive. There is a clear culture of high expectations, founded on the belief that all children can, want and deserve to achieve within a supportive and nurturing setting. Guided by the value of wisdom, pupils at Thornham St James develop into courteous, independent and curious learners, well prepared to meet future challenges with confidence.
Everyone who learns and grows at Thornham St James leaves as a confident individual, equipped with the knowledge, compassion and creativity needed to make a positive difference in the world. Working in close partnership with families, we are committed to enabling every child to achieve success in its many forms, ready and safe to go out and serve others.
Thank you for taking an interest in our wonderful school. Please contact the school office should you require any further information. I look forward to welcoming you should you wish to visit and see for yourself our thriving, happy and ambitious school.
