Rated Good by Ofsted in 2023, and Outstanding for Leadership and Management, Thornhill Community Academy is ‘A School, A Family, A Community’. Our mission is to improve the life chances of every single student through a clear focus on our ABC - attendance, behaviour and curriculum. Quite simply, our expectations are for everyone at the academy to be nice and work hard in all we do.

The academy is a proud member of the well-regarded and high-performing SHARE Multi-Academy Trust and the Calderdale and Kirklees Teaching School Hub. This means we can offer our colleagues and prospective candidates access to a fantastic support network, CPD, and opportunities to develop best practice across the trust.

The academy is situated in a close-knit, diverse community, and is in good commuting distance from Leeds, Huddersfield, and Wakefield. Thornhill is proud to offer:

  • A supportive and ambitious environment where all students are encouraged to go beyond what they think they can achieve and to enjoy learning, helping them to lead successful, healthy and happy lives.
  • A vibrant place to work which equips staff to deliver their best every day, under the strong belief that Valuing People, Supporting Personal Best is the key.
  • A commitment that staff are happy, engaged and well supported at work, taking pride in students’ attendance, behaviour, progress and development as well as their own.
  • Excellent training and guidance relevant to individual job roles, so expectations are understood and staff are motivated.
  • Great benefits, as an employer of choice, including outstanding CPD, supportive line management, and meaningful networking opportunities across the trust to aid personal development.
  • Supportive leadership, encouraging a healthy work-life balance.
  • A high-quality teaching and learning environment, alongside good facilities.
  • A culture where children are happy, settled and confident, accessing a broad and balanced curriculum which provides a memorable educational experience for pupils and staff.

The Trust

SHARE Multi Academy Trust currently consists of Shelley College, Thornhill Community Academy, Royds Hall Academy, Whitcliffe Mount Academy, Todmorden High School, Heaton Avenue Primary School, Millbridge Primary School, Luck Lane Primary School, Woodside Green Primary School and Calderdale and Kirklees Teaching School Hub.

Our aims

Our overarching aim is to help more pupils, particularly the disadvantaged, achieve highly. Achievement includes academic success and the development of personal qualities and knowledge to lead happy, healthy and successful lives.

Our values

We believe education is all about people. Our success is measured in how we help our children and young people achieve. We can only achieve this success by employing talented, committed staff and working in partnership with parents. In doing so, we will benefit our communities. We have a distinctive way of interpreting this belief. We summarise it as:

“Valuing People, Supporting Personal Best.”

This means we seek for every one of our students and members of staff, to enjoy coming to our schools and for all of us to try our very best in everything we do. We help everybody gain the knowledge, skills and habits that can lead to a happy and successful life, both now and in the future. We believe that helping people feel valued increases the chances of them achieving their personal best, which is the highest standard we can expect anybody to achieve.
