Thornhill Academy is celebrating a fantastic achievement after its dedicated team was named Team of the Year at the prestigious Consilium Awards 2026.
The annual awards ceremony brings together colleagues and students from across Consilium Academies to recognise those who go above and beyond in demonstrating the Trust's values of excellence, ambition, integrity and collaboration.
The award recognises the incredible work carried out by Thornhill Academy's Transition team in supporting children and families before they even walk through the school gates.
Thornhill Academy understands how important it is to work closely with its feeder primary schools to ensure future students feel comfortable, confident and excited about starting secondary school. Throughout the year, the team spends countless hours working alongside local primary schools, parents and carers, and community groups, building strong relationships and creating opportunities that help make the move to secondary education as positive as possible.
The academy knows that this transition can be a daunting experience for some young people. As a family-sized school where every student is known by their name, Thornhill Academy prides itself on providing the care, reassurance and individual support that helps every child settle in, make new friendships and thrive from day one.

The recognition comes at an exciting time for the academy. This year marks the beginning of a transformational £45 million rebuild, which will provide students with outstanding, state-of-the-art learning facilities designed to support future generations of learners.
We are incredibly proud that our team has been recognised with this award. It reflects the commitment, care and dedication they show every single day, not only to our students but also to the families, primary schools and communities we work with. We know that starting secondary school is a significant milestone, and we want every young person to feel welcomed, supported and ready to succeed from the moment they join us.
He added: "This award comes at a really exciting time for Thornhill Academy. With work beginning on our new £45 million school, we are looking forward to an exciting future while continuing to provide the warm, family atmosphere that makes Thornhill such a special place to learn."
Families considering secondary school places are warmly invited to experience the Thornhill difference by attending the academy's Open Evening on Thursday 10 September, from 4.30pm to 7.30pm.
