About Thornhill Primary School

Thornhill Primary School is a state-funded, mixed-gender primary school in the London borough of Islington, serving children from ages 3 to 11. It sits within a competitive local landscape of 41 primary schools, where only eight currently hold an Outstanding rating from Ofsted. The school’s most recent inspection, in January 2025, awarded it a Good overall, placing it among the solid performers in the borough. However, it is not among the very top-ranked peers in the area. The highest-rated local school is Drayton Park Primary School, followed closely by Gillespie Primary School and Winton Primary School, the latter being the nearest Outstanding-rated school at just 1.1 kilometres away. Thornhill’s headteacher, Jenny Lewis, leads a school of 459 pupils, and while it does not share the top-tier ranking of its neighbours, its recent inspection results suggest a school that is performing well across several key areas.
