Thornden School

Thornden is a school where staff, students and parents feel valued. We have a warm community spirit that enables individuals to develop their own talents and abilities, whilst taking the opportunity to try something new and different, without the fear of failure.

We have superb teachers and support staff, who take pride in their work and their achievements. They have passion for their subject and an enthusiasm in ensuring that all children in their care reach their full potential. I welcome you to our website and encourage you to have a look around.

About our school experience

Details

This is the perfect opportunity for you to learn all you need to know about teaching within a secondary school. Getting some classroom experience can help you to decide whether teaching is right for you and it could also strengthen your application.

Our event is designed for anyone who has a degree and is interested in initial teacher training with our partnership.

During the visit you’ll be able to talk to teachers about day-to-day school life and observe teaching in a range of lessons.
