Thornton Primary School: The Facts

There have recently been some misguided claims as to the future of Thornton Primary School, Edge Lane. Councillor Gibson has been working alongside Thornton Parish Council and other elected councillors in Manor to make it clear to residents as to what exactly is to happen. Councillor Gibson was in The Crosby Herald not too long ago outlining the future of the school, however, there have been myths or ill-informed rumours about the site that have begun to spread across Thornton.

A full report is available by contacting Councillor Gibson on the details to the right of this page. However, in short:
  • The report, outlined by Council Officers, outlines that there has been £2,000,000 set aside for capital works on the site.
  • This is to refurbish the existing buildings and extend the car park.
  • There will be reconfiguration to the entrance and exit of the existing two buildings, meaning that there will be NO NEW BUILD, or extensions, or a second story. 
  • The playing field will not be affected and there are no plans to build houses on the field.
Those residents concerned or wishing to discuss this further please feel free to contact Councillor Gibson directly.
