The Eco Committee
During the course of the year, the Eco Committee have been meeting on a regular basis to talk about important issues involving both our local and wider communities.
To start, we looked at the importance of recycling and the alternatives we could use instead of plastics. Through the children’s independent research we found that plastic takes a really long time to decompose. We were then invited to take part in the National Environmental Conference. Thoresby, along with other schools in the city, took part in a debate about an oil company wanting to dig through the Rainforest.
This term we have been looking at conservation and climate change. We had an artist come into school during Kaleidoscope to help us create our very own mural stating ‘we are never too small to make a difference’.
Thoresby gives me the opportunity to have a great education. The topics are great!
We are lucky to have Kaleidoscope every year! We learn so much and everyone comes together for a celebration.
My daughter started in September and she has flourished. Not only in an academic sense but in terms of her social skills and her open-mindedness to others – it’s been a fantastic experience for her!
Our son is absolutely thriving at Thoresby. He has really got on well with his teachers and enjoyed lessons. If asked he would say the dinners are best but his progress speaks for itself. Thank you.
Thoresby helps us to learn that we are all unique and special in our own way.
Thoresby is an amazing school and the best aspect of the school are the brilliant selfless teachers who put the children at the forefront of everything.
I feel the school is a blessing for parents who have the opportunity to send their kids here as they provide the best education and pastoral care possible.
I would like to say that both our children – daughter in year 4 and son in year 6, enjoy attending their lessons and their topics they are being taught.
The support from the teaching staff is very good and the pastoral care of our children, especially when needed for our son. Overall very positive.
I am proud to be part of the Thoresby community.
Our daughter started Thoresby in September 2018 – she has grown in confidence and the support from her teachers is constant. We are very happy with everything the school offers and provides.
