Glenthorne High School

Glenthorne High School is a thriving 11-19 mixed comprehensive Academy with 1704 pupils, of whom 350 are in the 6th Form. We are a heavily oversubscribed, highly successful school with a long and rich history in the local community. The school was founded on the Glastonbury Road site in 1933. It moved to the Sutton Common Road site in 1958. At this time, it was called Sutton Common County Secondary Girls’ School; a small girls’ school for less than 400 pupils. It changed its name to Glenthorne in 1982 and it wasn’t until 1993 that it became co-educational. In 2018, we celebrated our Diamond Jubilee on the Sutton Common Road site. I joined the school back in September 2000 and is now my pleasure and a privilege to lead the school on the next chapter of its journey. Glenthorne is a unique school of extraordinary staff and pupils and enjoys exceptional support from parents and the local community. We are proud of our history, our success and achievements and our reputation for high standards and high expectations and proud of our contribution to the local community. ​​​​​​​
