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* [Read More ](https://www.thorntonincravenprimary.org.uk/about/mission-statement-aims-values) ![](https://files.schudio.com/thornton-in-craven-cp-school/imagecache/720x720c/menu/DSC_0229_-_Copy_(1).JPG) ### Reception 2027 Intake [admissions-attendance](https://www.thorntonincravenprimary.org.uk/about/admissions-attendance) ![](https://files.schudio.com/thornton-in-craven-cp-school/imagecache/720x720c/menu/4C57F974-3575-4629-AA58-6DAD87FED7C0_1_201_a.jpeg) ### Ofsted Report 2023 [ofsted-report-2019](https://www.thorntonincravenprimary.org.uk/ofsted-report-2019) ![](https://files.schudio.com/thornton-in-craven-cp-school/imagecache/720x720c/menu/IMG_4000.jpeg) ### Curriculum [curriculum](https://www.thorntonincravenprimary.org.uk/curriculum) ![](https://files.schudio.com/thornton-in-craven-cp-school/imagecache/720x720c/menu/DSC_0180_-_Copy.jpeg) ### Safeguarding [safeguarding](https://www.thorntonincravenprimary.org.uk/about/safeguarding) ![](https://files.schudio.com/thornton-in-craven-cp-school/imagecache/720x720c/menu/F94C525D-581E-43A5-B719-7A1CFBC8842D_1_201_a.jpeg) ### Mission Statement [mission-statement-aims-values](https://www.thorntonincravenprimary.org.uk/about/mission-statement-aims-values) ![](https://files.schudio.com/thornton-in-craven-cp-school/imagecache/720x720c/menu/DSC_0130_-_Copy.JPG) ### School Policies [school-policies](https://www.thorntonincravenprimary.org.uk/about/school-policies) ![](https://files.schudio.com/thornton-in-craven-cp-school/images/homepage/.jpg) ## School Council Thornton in Craven Community Primary School Council is composed of pupils from each year group from Year 1 to Year 6 with a pupil from Reception joining the council in summer term.
