Vision and values

Thorngrove School aims to deliver a broad and balanced curriculum, developing pupils' academic education as well as their interest in extra-curricular pursuits.

The pre-preparatory school maximises the use of all school facilities, including the woods and fields.

While Thorngrove School excels at teaching core subjects, it also provides outstanding extra-curricular activities. Pupils have access to specialist art and pottery sessions, music lessons and drama classes led by a fully qualified LAMDA teacher. Plenty of sports are on offer.
