The school has a roll of approximately 470 pupils.  Well over 90% have had pre-school experience.  Many have enjoyed a wide range of experiences, have been read to extensively, and have travelled widely.  In general, children are responsive, articulate and ready for learning experiences.

Most parents demonstrate a strong interest in the school and the educational opportunities it provides.  Many are in professional/managerial positions, often with both parents working.   There is a growing number of single parents and little unemployment.  Parents provide valued assistance with parent help schemes when called upon, and assist with administrative functions, transport and support for extra-curricular activities.  They have high expectations of the school and relate well to staff. An enthusiastic PTA is a vital part of the relationship between home and school and share in many school related activities and functions. 

Thorrington has a teaching staff of 20 supported by a professional Board and Support Staff who are experienced, committed, and share a common purpose with regard to school philosophy.
