What people are saying about Connect Primary School

"Nothing is ever too much trouble & all staff, whether teachers/teaching assistants/administrators all go above & beyond to ensure children achieve personally, socially, emotionally & academically. I would highly recommend Thornbury to anyone."

"My child is in the Upper Juniors, the support throughout her time at Thornbury has been excellent. Teachers & support staff have been hugely instrumental in helping my daughter become a confident, resilient & independent individual."

"The transition period was very well handled, we were kept informed on exactly how this process was to be done, a home visit by two of the transition staff to go over what they wanted to achieve to make this happen as simple and easy as possible."

"We picked Thornbury school after we had an open evening. Thornbury’s approach to the children's education and well-being, the commitment of the staff, how friendly and approachable they all are, we did not even look at the other schools."

“Our school is an amazing place to be and the staff and children are all very proud to be part of the Thornbury family! I feel privileged to share this learning journey with your child and love to watch them flourish.”

Mrs Mantell | SLT

“Thornbury is built on strong relationships. These relationships are seen between staff and children, children and children, staff and parents/ carers and staff and staff. The care and support each offer to another enable all to feel valued and secure.”
