In September 2024, staff and pupils worked together to shape the core values which would enable everyone to thrive in school.  Together we came up with the 5 C’s:

Community, Compassion, Curious, Committed and CAN!

We want our learners to:

Be Committed to their learning and never give up.  To accept and rise to a challenge; showing resilience and perseverance to achieve thier goals.

Be Curious; exploring and investigating solutions, asking questions and showing enthusiasm for learning.

Show Compassion to others.  To listen to their views, be kind and courteous and respect and accept others’ thoughts and beliefs.

Be an active part of our Community by working together to make our school and wider community a positive place for all to be.

Have a belief that they CAN!!

At Thornley Academy our staff and governors are committed to providing the best education for all pupils. We are truly inclusive and look for ways to knock down the barriers which may sometimes get in our way. Therefore we will always try to:
