At Thornton Grove Academy, we hold a deep and unwavering commitment to valuing pupil voice and representation. We believe that the perspective and input of our pupils are invaluable in shaping our educational environment and ensuring that it caters to their unique needs and aspirations.
Our Pupil Parliament is a dynamic and inclusive forum where the voices of our pupils truly matter. Pupil Parliament empowers young minds to shape their educational experience and school environment. Through thoughtful discussions, brainstorming sessions, and collaborative decision-making, these emerging leaders work together to address issues, propose initiatives, and foster positive change within our school community. Our Pupil Parliament is a testament to the importance of pupil engagement and democracy in education, ensuring that every pupil has a say in their school's future. Together, we strive for excellence, unity, and a brighter tomorrow.
The Thornton Grove Eco Team has been formed by enthusiastic members of our Year 4 class. This dedicated team of eight pupils is passionate about caring for our environment and making a positive difference around our school.
They have already begun taking on important responsibilities such as regular litter picking, and they’re eager to widen their work even further. We’re incredibly proud of their commitment and can’t wait to see the impact they make!
Our dedicated team of Play Leaders support all of our pupils at play time and lunch time to have a successful, positive experience. Our Play Leaders work closely with Mrs French, our HLTA, to ensure they are equipped to lead and support their peers during social times of the day. Our Play Leaders offer suggestions for new games and even work with Mrs King to keep our play equipment well-stocked and exciting!
Our Librarians work with our English Lead to help keep our Library organised, attractive and tidy. The librarians organise each section of the library into categories and monitor stock levels. They are fantastic advocates of reading and are great at recommending new books to read!
