Thorpe Lea Primary School

A dedicated community working together, nurturing a safe, happy school where all children can achieve their potential

Headteacher’s Welcome

Thank you for visiting our website, which I hope provides a window into our wonderful school. As the interim Headteacher here at Thorpe Lea, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you. 

We have one form of entry in each year group and teach children from the age of 3 to 11. We have an ambitious, well-sequenced, research-based and contextualised curriculum that engages and challenges our pupils, enabling them to become enthusiastic, independent lifelong learners and achieve excellence. The moment a child enters our Nursery they become part of a family built on commitment and togetherness that extends into our local community. 

The values of high expectations, respect, teamwork, diversity, nurturing care, communication and creativity are the golden thread that run through all of our teaching and relationships. We uphold and teach our pupils about British values such as democracy, rule of law, individual liberty, mutual respect and tolerance. These values are promoted through our words and deeds. 

Reading is a huge priority for us as we know that learning to read fluently and developing a love of reading opens up the curriculum, the world around us and improves life chances. 

We form strong partnerships with parents to ensure each child flourishes during the time they spend at our school. Each child at our school will only be successful if they feel safe and secure. Thorpe Lea is a happy, nurturing place to be and safeguarding our children is our highest priority. 

A range of sporting, creative and academic enrichment opportunities are offered, ensuring every child is valued and can develop their talents. We work in partnership with parents to support every child’s personal development. 

I am extremely proud to be the interim Headteacher of a thriving, caring school community with supportive and dedicated staff, governors, parents and pupils.

Please take some time to explore this website to find out more about our school and follow us on Facebook for regular updates about all the exciting things that go on. 

Mr Belfrage
Interim Headteacher
