Welcome to the Thurlstone Primary School Website!
At Thurlstone, we believe every child should have the chance to Grow Together; Learn Together; Feel Loved.
We’re a friendly, supportive, and creative school where every child is encouraged to shine. Our team is passionate about providing the very best education in a warm, caring, and nurturing environment.
We’re so proud of everything our children achieve — not just in their learning, but in the kind, confident, and curious individuals they become.
We hope you enjoy exploring our website and that it gives you a real sense of what makes Thurlstone Primary such a special place.

Check out our Upcycle Park!
Last year we worked our socks off to complete this fabulous area in time for the summer. A lot of work has gone into this and we’d like to thank all the parents and community members who worked so hard to make this happen.
It’s called the Up-Cycle Park because we made every effort to use recycled wood, planters, tyres and other bits and bobs! It’s great making something new out of old stuff!
