Our school is very fortunate to have been given by the Forestry Commission, an area within Black Planting Forest, for our Forest Schools activities. Our children are stimulated by the outdoors and typically experience, over time, an increase in their self belief, confidence, learning capacity, enthusiasm, communication and problem-solving skills and emotional well-being.

Whilst at Thorneyholme, pupils have the opportunity to participate in many different educational visits to enhance their learning experiences. 

Sporting activities play an important part of life at Thorneyholme.  Sports coaches come into school twice a week to ensure that the children all receive first class sports coaching and to run FREE after school sports club sessions. These take place on a Monday and Thursday 3.30pm - 5.00pm. All pupils have access to blocked swimming sessions through the year. 

We enjoy entertaining our parents and friends, particularly at Christmas when the whole school takes part in a musical production. Smaller scale events take place throughout the year with musical performances and Celebration Assemblies on a regular basis, as well as 'themed' afternoons.

We are an important part of St Hubert's Parish and our Parish Priest, Canon Paul Brindle comes in regularly to see us. We encourage our children to share what they have with others and we endeavour to be worthy guardians of God's creation not only by being careful with how we use the world's resources but also by recycling, composting and walking to school.

Our Parents' Association: The Friends of Thorneyholme (FOT) run lots of fundraising events throughout the year. The money they have raised has made a big difference to our school. They have provided coaches for school visits, bought additional equipment for the school and much more!
