Inspire, Thrive, Community
Thornton College is a leading independent day and boarding school for girls aged 3 – 18 years. It is one of the most successful non-selective schools in the UK and is situated on 25 acres of beautiful grounds in rural Buckinghamshire, one hour North of London and central to Oxford and Cambridge. Thornton College is a community where girls thrive; where outstanding pastoral care and a wonderfully creative and broad curriculum and co-curriculum enables each girl to become the absolute best version of herself. At Thornton, we provide a curriculum and co-curriculum that inspires curiosity; classes and clubs that stir debate and instil the belief needed to formulate and share opinions. Thornton girls learn how to listen and empathise, to work together and share ideas but also how to lead. Our small class sizes allow us to know each girl as an individual, to grow with her on her educational journey, crafting a school experience so that she is not only able to discover her talents but more importantly – use them to the full! We are a vibrant and diverse school welcoming girls of all faiths and none, from across the UK and the world. Thornton College provides a world of opportunity in a community that has kindness, respect and forgiveness at its heart.
