From the Thorpedene Primary School
I'm happy to welcome you to the website for Thorpedene Primary School on behalf of the entire school community. Since joining the school at Easter 2015, I have taken on a leadership role within our school community, where students consistently show their love for learning and development is apparent. At Thorpedene, we are dedicated to fostering and protecting the wellbeing of all of our students and are driven to provide a warm, welcoming environment in which we can support each student's academic achievements. While academic learning is highly valued, we also recognise the value of a comprehensive and balanced education that recognises and celebrates each child's skills, allowing all of our children to grow in confidence, acquire a sense of responsibility, and realise their own goals. We are all present because of your kids. First, and most crucially in my opinion, we will always work to make sure that your child is content. Being a mom myself, I am completely aware of the need to put children's happiness, safety, and wellbeing first at all times. Along with Bournes Green Infant School, Bournes Green Junior School, Hinguar Primary School, Richmond Primary School, and Shoeburyness High School, we are honoured to be a member of the Southend East Community Academy Trust (SECAT). Thorpedene Primary School's teachers, students, and governors all have a great deal of pride in their school and are always happy to show potential or present parents around so they can see for themselves what we have to offer their kids. Please get in touch with us if you want to learn more about our fantastic school.
