Thorngrove School, founded in 1988 by Mr and Mrs Broughton, the Principals, is a co-educational day school for children aged two and a half to 13 years. The purpose-built facilities are set in former farmland in the village of Highclere, 5 miles south of Newbury and 12 miles north of Andover. Children are prepared for Common Entrance at 13+, from where their paths lead to a wide range of senior day and boarding schools.
Thorngrove offers a unique environment where children can grow and learn independently. We value our intimate and friendly community, and the benefits that it brings; we are proud of our small class sizes and the individual attention we are able to offer to each of our pupils.
The school has a relaxed yet purposeful atmosphere, where working relationships between staff and pupils flourish. We are forward thinking in our approach - ready to adapt to change and technological advancement, whilst at the same time remaining true to traditional values.
Pupils are assessed continuously, and parents are always welcome to discuss their children's progress with staff on a regular basis or at parents' meetings. Above all, our aim is that all our pupils should reach their potential in terms of confidence, creativity and achievement.
