At St. Godric’s, we encourage our whole school community to use their gifts, talents and strengths to “shine” and make a positive difference in our world and to one another. There is a strong sense of belonging at St. Godric’s. Our mission reminds us to shine **among one another** as a caring community and family who work together, support one another and serve with kindness, compassion and faith. ### About Us - [Friends of the School](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/about-us/friends-of-the-school) - [Our Community](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/about-us/our-community) - [Our Governing Body](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/about-us/our-governing-body) - [Our Mission and Values](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/about-us/our-mission-and-values) - [Our Staff](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/about-us/our-staff) - [Vacancies](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/about-us/vacancies) ![St. Godric's Catholic Primary School, Thornley](https://files.schudio.com/st-godric-s-catholic-primary-school-thornley/images/logo/logo-footer-with-diocese-02.png) ### St. Godric's Catholic Primary School, Thornley Thornley Road Wheatley Hill County Durham DH6 3NR 01429 820 333 ### Useful Links: - [Website Terms](https://bccet.org.uk/website-terms) - [Accessibility Statement](https://bccet.org.uk/accessibility-statement) - [Privacy Notice](https://bccet.org.uk/privacy-policy) - [FOI](https://bccet.org.uk/freedom-of-information) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stgodricthornley) © Copyright 2025–2026 St. Godric's Catholic Primary School, Thornley School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stgodricsthornley.org/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
