Thornton-in-Craven Community Primary and Nursery school is a small, rural, village school and we believe that our strength is in our size. We know every child and their family well and we are therefore able to provide a unique and positive experience for all children in our care. We are situated in the BD23 postcode which was previously voted as one of the best places in Britain to live. We also believe it is one of the best places in which to thrive and learn.

"The school is a happy place with a strong sense of community and a ‘family feel’ to it. Pupils are kind and accepting of one another. Pupils and staff form warm relationships. A culture of inclusivity permeates this small, rural, community school." - Ofsted November 2023
