Thornley In The News

By

It has been a really busy start to the new year. We began the year with some fantastic news about our school as we found out that our 2013/2014 Y6 cohort had helped the school rank within the top 150 primaries in the WHOLE of the country. We are so proud of all of our pupils, our staff who work hard to support them at every stage of their learning and all our supportive parents.
Well done to everyone involved!

Last Day

By

We are coming to the end of a very busy but very happy half term. Tomorrow is our final day before we break up for the school holidays. Tomorrow, we have the Y6 Leavers Assembly at 9.10 and the Year 2 Graduation Ceremony at 11am (parents and carers of Y6 and Y2 are invited to these two events).
Thank you to all our hardworking staff for making this such a successful year. You really are a fantastic team.
Thank you to all our wonderful pupils! You are all shining stars.

And thank you to all our supportive parents for coming into school for parents evenings, Shakespeare plays, Pirate adventures and sports days!

We hope you have a safe and happy summer break and will see you all again when we return to school on Thursday 3rd September.

Ottani Animati Brass Concert

This week we enjoyed a fabulous concert by the Sicilian folk band Ottani Animati! Their energetic music got us off our feet and dancing! We even danced around school! They were so much fun. You can see Ottani Animati and lots of other fantastic bands at the free Summer Brass Festival in Durham which takes place at the beginning of the school holidays.
