Welcome toSir John Thursby
Community College

A warm welcome to Sir John Thursby from myself, the Staff, Students and Governors. We are very proud of our successful, friendly, supportive and inclusive school. I am delighted that you are considering us as you make the important decision about schooling for your child.

I am incredibly privileged to be leading our fantastic school. We are a successful, popular and vibrant learning community and we have been graded as “good” by OfSTED in all areas over the past three inspections. We are committed to an exciting curriculum, great teaching and the highest standards of support, guidance and pastoral care. We believe that great qualifications change lives and we offer an ambitious and varied school experience to all our students. We are also a school seated in our community and we are open to all.

Temporary uniform adjustment due to hot weather

(Wednesday 24th June to Friday 26th June 2026)

 Dear Parents/Carers

Due to the current extreme heat, we will be making a temporary adjustment to our uniform expectations for the remainder of this week.

Students are permitted to leave their blazers and jumpers at home or wear their PE kit.

However, all other aspects of the school uniform policy must continue to be adhered to:

  • Shirts must remain tucked in at all times whilst in the building
  • Ties must be worn correctly
  • Full compliance with all other uniform expectations remains in place

We also ask parents/carers to ensure that students continue to bring their school bag every day, with all required equipment. Please note that some students store essential items such as pens and pencils in their blazers; these must now be transferred into their bags so that they are fully equipped and ready to learn.

Please ensure that your child comes to school with a sturdy refillable water bottle so that they can remain hydrated throughout the day. As part of our sustainability drive, we want to lower the impact of our community of the environment, as a result of this, the school does not allow disposable water bottles.

 We appreciate your support in maintaining high standards while ensuring students remain comfortable during the hot weather.

Kind regards

Mr Rashid
