Thornton College is an award winning leading independent day and boarding school for girls aged 3 – 18 years. Situated in 25 acres of beautiful buckinghamshire grounds, it is one of the most successful non-selective schools in the UK.
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 very best version of herself.
At Thornton, we educate girls so that not only can they make a difference, but they want to make a difference. We do this by providing a curriculum and co-curriculum that inspire curiosity and by providing 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!
Thornton College offers outstanding music, drama, arts, sports and science facilities alongside dedicated teaching for all ages and all subjects.
The latest ISI (Independent School Inspectorate) Inspection in October 2022 rated Thornton College 'Excellent' in all areas - the highest possible grading.
Thornton College is an incredibly special place – and we warmly invite you to join us on one of our open days, our ‘Meet the Head’ Coffee mornings or for a personal tour on any ‘normal’ working day – do come along, you will always be welcomed.
