About Our School

Thurlton-Primary-465-LoRes

Thurlton Primary School is situated in a small rural village, in south Norfolk, close to the Suffolk border and 14 miles south east of Norwich.

Located in the village of Thurlton, close to the village church and within easy walking distance of the centre, Thurlton Primary School is a welcoming and inclusive school at the heart of its local community.
Our pupils mostly come from Thurlton and the surrounding villages, although some families travel from further afield to benefit from our warm, supportive environment. 

After their primary schooling, at the age of 11, most of our pupils transfer to Hobart High School in Loddon.

Founded in 1875, Thurlton Primary School blends its rich heritage with modern facilities. Over the years, the school has been thoughtfully expanded and improved, first in 1973 and then again in 2003, to include enhanced learning spaces and an eco extension.

 In 2011 further improvements were made to our Early Years area so our youngest pupils can safely access continuous provision and the outdoors at all times.

Our extensive grounds include playing fields, a hard play area, and a unique environmental area with a pond, bird hide and gardens, providing children with valuable opportunities to learn, explore and play outdoors.

The school draws its pupils from Thurlton, Norton Subcourse, Thorpe-Next-Haddiscoe, Raveningham and other surrounding villages. The school is smaller than the average and has 60 pupils on roll. At the age of 11, many of the pupils transfer to Hobart High School in Loddon.

The school is housed in a Victorian building (1875), which was extended in 1973 to provide modern facilities. Further building work started in January 2003, to accommodate the transformation from first to primary school status. The new accommodation provides the school with two new classrooms, one of which is a DFES ’Classroom of the Future’, a re-modelled central teaching area and new storage facilities. The Reception/Year 1 classroom was extended in 2011 with its own outdoor learning environment.

The extensive school grounds contain playing fields, hard play areas, car park for staff and an extensive environmental area including pond, bird hide and gardens.

The staff team of Thurlton School is experienced, hardworking and supportive. Each member of the teaching staff, including the Headteacher, has responsibility for at least three areas of the curriculum.

Although the school does not have facilities to cook meals on site, hot lunches are delivered daily from the excellent kitchen team at Hobart High School, for those who would like them.

Throughout the year we offer a wide variety of extra-curricular activities ranging from sports such as football, cricket and gymnastics to choir and forest schools.

Parents/carers are warmly encouraged to involve themselves in school life and we welcome help with activities such as reading, clubs and on school visits.

We are very fortunate to be supported by an incredibly active and hard working Parents and Friends Association (PFA) which organises a number of fund-raising and social activities throughout the year. Please do let us know if you would like to be involved and we will put you in touch with them
