West Thornton Primary School is part of The Inspire Partnership Trust family of schools. The school comprises of two sites, one on Canterbury Road and the other on Rosecourt Road, both in Croydon. We serve a diverse community and have just under 1000 pupils on roll.
In October 2024, Ofsted judged the school as OUTSTANDING for Behaviour and Attitudes, Personal Development, Early Years Provision and Leadership and Management and GOOD for the Quality of Education.
In March 2025 we won the Education Business Award for 'Outstanding Progress'.
As a partnership of schools, we are better able to support our pupils, we strongly believe in the power of collaboration and continually work together to find new and innovative ways to work.
