Thornwell Primary School

[EduCativ]

Thornwell School is a great place to learn. Our building has a new Foundation Phase department with plaza-style classrooms. The school has a 100 meg broadband connection that enables our 'state of the art IT equipment to enhance children's learning opportunities.
We have beautiful school grounds with lots of trees, a vegetable patch, an outdoor learning lodge, a polytunnel, and a wildlife area with a pond full of amazing creatures. Our dedicated staff provides a wide range of extracurricular clubs during lunchtimes and after school. Wrap-around care is provided with a free breakfast club.
Our Vision is for Thornwell to be a safe place where success follows happiness. A place that children love attending because learning is challenging, modern, and fun. The school will welcome and nurture everyone, with equity and without prejudice. At Thornwell, children will learn about their place within Wales and the world, and the importance of their role in looking after it.
Thornwell Primary School embraced the opportunity to join Monmouthshire’s first Primary Alliance in September 2014. Mrs. Edwards, the substantive Headteacher of Shirenewton Primary, took on the role of Executive Headteacher of the Chepstow Primary Alliance. The Chepstow Primary Alliance consists of three primary schools in the Chepstow Cluster - Thornwell, Pembroke & Shirenewton. Thornwell and Pembroke schools each have substantive headteachers and Shirenewton has an Associate Headteacher. The Headteacher of Thornwell, Tim Appleby, is responsible for the school's day-to-day leadership and management. The Headteacher, the heads of Foundation Phase and Key Stage 2, and the Additional Learning Needs Co-ordinator (ALNCO) make up the Senior Management Team of Thornwell Primary.
