At Thornhill we are constantly striving to better ourselves by working together to achieve a number of whole school priorities.

Alongside staff and the governing body, we have created a two year school development plan (SDP).

School Development Key Priorities

2026 - 2028

Priority 1 - Curriculum and Teaching

Maintain the exceptional curriculum provision across all year groups.

Priority 2 - Attendance and Behaviour

Prioritise pupil attendance and ensure the school percentages are above national expectations.

Priority 3 - Inclusion

Ensure pupils with SEND have a bespoke curriculum offer which meets their individual needs and ensures exceptional progress. Maintain a sharp focus on the learning for disadvantaged pupils, including the lowest 20% of all learners, to ensure rapid and sustained progress.

Priority 4 - Personal Development and Wellbeing

Improve the wellbeing, accessibility and development for pupils, staff, parents and visitors to the school.

Priority 5 - Leadership & Governance

Prepare school buildings for extreme weather like overheating.
