Christ the King School is a smaller than average sized primary school situated in the pleasant market town of Thornbury. The school was opened in 1969 when the town underwent large scale development.

Our school has a ‘family community’ feel to it and has a distinctive Catholic identity. We believe that our ethos is largely responsible for making our school an exceptionally caring and strong learning environment. Our pupils come from a variety of backgrounds and faiths and they all share the values of the school.

A very warm welcome to our school website which we hope will give you a flavour of what the children are experiencing in our school as well as providing you with any information you may need.

Our school community is a strong, vibrant one where children are well supported by a dedicated, strong team of teachers and teaching assistants, our local Parish and by the surrounding community. We hope you will experience the words of our Mission Statement as a reality and how we strive to make a difference. Christ the King is a Catholic school and we believe that every child is unique and possesses God given gifts.
