Thorpe House School

Word From The Head

Jake Burnett

I am very happy to welcome you to the Thorpe House School community. It is an exciting and dynamic place to be.

There are many reasons why Thorpe has a hundred years of excellence behind it, and why I am looking forward to the next century to come. Thorpe has always stayed true to its values of ensuring that every student is known for who they are and what they bring to school every day. First and foremost we are a community of learners, where each child is supported and challenged to do their very best. This is seen in our classrooms, science laboratories, sports fields, black box theatre, within our teams, across our commitment to adventure and action, and beyond. As a result, learning is engaging and enjoyable and the students here thrive within a safe and caring school, with a healthy enrolment that is neither too big or too small.

Our aim is always to prepare our students for their next steps and ultimately for their journey after school. They are part of a nurturing environment at Thorpe and our high expectations about respect, care and mutual understanding help to make them both curious and engaged with the world. Our students are supported to achieve by dedicated and professional staff who ensure that academic success is balanced with high quality pastoral care.

Thorpe is a school where your child will make friends, enjoy the many opportunities ahead of them, and receive personalised attention in and out of the classroom.

I very much look forward to getting to know every child and family as we all engage together in this very strong community that is Thorpe House School.
