About Thurstable School
THE SCHOOL
A warm welcome to Thurstable School, a school built on ethos and with a clear aim of building knowledge and growing character. At the heart of everything we do lies our core values of aspire, respect and endeavour, values that are lived and not just laminated.
We are at an exciting time of our development as we strive to be a school of character and academic excellence and are looking forward to helping your child become the best version of themselves and achieve great academic outcomes whilst developing good character.
In the Summer of 2022 the GCSE results were “significantly above average” and in the top 20% of the country (Department for Education) and we are unashamedly clear that academic scholarship, reading and writing are at the heart of our curriculum.
We have the wonderful Thurstable Loves To Read programme as well as our innovative Morning Meeting programme based upon cognitive science and are committed that all students leave us with a reading age that matches their chronological age.
Equally important to our ethos is growing character and one of our mantras is “true character is doing the right thing when no one is looking”. We believe that character is taught, caught and sought and are committed to providing as many opportunities for the students to make memories from foreign exchanges, musical productions, Duke of Edinburgh schemes and numerous sporting opportunities.
We are committed to our mission statement of "Building Knowledge, Growing Character". We won’t get everything right, but we will always be honest, be led by our values and learn from the best schools in the country to make ours better.

We use the idea of 'Phronesis' to guide us. Phronesis is practical wisdom, a virtue which allows us to make the right decisions at the right time for the right reasons.
We expect our students and staff to use phronesis in their daily life at Thurstable.
