From the Thorpe House School
The strong Christian-based ethos and nurturing environment at Thorpe House gives our boys the platform they need to experience success. As an independent boys' school we pride ourselves in offering an education tailored to the way boys learn, whilst also providing a learning journey suited to the needs of each individual in our care. Boys are encouraged to be responsible members of their local and global communities through our teaching strategy. Our staff is dedicated to giving boys the uplifting direction and support they require to realise their unique potential. Kindness, compassion, respect, politeness and resilience are traditional values that we expect all boys at Thorpe House to adhere to and our school motto, 'To strive, to seek, to find and not to yield', highlights the importance of hard-work and tenacity. a welcome staff that collaborates with parents in a warm, lively, and loving family environment. We are proud of our reputation for providing learning experiences that are pivotal to the excellent GCSE grades our boys achieve at 16. Although this is very essential to us, it is not the only way to evaluate our success. We are confident that by the time they leave us each pupil is a young man well prepared to cope with the many and varied challenges of modern life and ready to take his place in society.
