Welcome to Thorns Collegiate Academy.
Welcome to Thorns Collegiate Academy. At our heart, we are about sharing the spirit of education. From the moment that I first visited Thorns, the warmth and energy of the staff and students impressed me. That spirit is what makes the Academy unique. We see it in the small moments – individual successes in the classroom – as well as the big moments – whole school concerts, sporting fixtures and assemblies.
