An autumn leaf in a child's hand

News and Updates

At Thornbury, we believe that every child has the potential to achieve great things. That's why we are committed to providing a dynamic, supportive learning environment that helps our pupils thrive.

At Christmas, Mrs Claire Hardisty retires from her role as Headteacher of Thornbury Primary School after 17 years!

She has brought a wealth of experience, training and curriculum knowledge to both Thornbury Primary and Connect Academy Trust. This includes being a founding Headteacher of the Trust, helping to training a number of middle (now senior) leaders and being the driving force behind our own Ocean Curriculum.

On Friday, we hosted a special assembly to share our gratitude for Mrs Hardisty. The whole school participated by: performing personalised songs and poems, creating beautiful collaborative artwork and unique thank you cards. There was a special word from Mrs Smith, the Chair of Governors and even some special visitors!

A huge thank you Mrs Hardisty and all the best for your next adventure!

Mrs Hardisty has created and gifted us this very special 'Animal Ace' award.
