The 2024 – 2025 academic year is a full learning day for our pupils and staff, whilst maintaining some of the safe practices that helped us during the preceding years of COVID. In particular, our drop-off and pick-up systems have been hugely successful around school and the local community.

Lord, guide me on the path I should go,
Help me see the ways I can grow,
Thankfulness, Hope, Friendship, Wisdom and Trust,
These values help me be kind and just.


Our Values Team helped write the school prayer, above. They felt it captured our Church School Values, as well as reflecting our Bible quote on the side of our school, put there nearly 150 years ago.

“Train up a child in the way he should go”.

So, fast-forward to today and the only change is “they should go”. Our girls in education deserve a direction, too! But the essence, the ethos, the aspiration has not changed since that quote was written in our Bible many generations ago: if we get it right at Thurlbear CE VA School today, it will create better adults for tomorrow.
