Thorpe Hall School has been celebrating its senior boys and girls recent success, with both teams reaching the Independent Schools Association (ISA) National Finals in both Netball and Football.
The ISA East Anglian regional tournament, which took place in Ipswich, saw the Thorpe Hall Girls U13 Netball team win all but two games. They therefore secured a place at the ISA National Netball Championships at Queen Ethelburga’s Collegiate in York next month.
The boys also did the school proud during their U11s Five-a-Side Football East Anglian regional round at Alleyn Court. After an exciting game, Thorpe Hall met Alleyn Court's B team in the semi-final and their A team in the final, winning on penalties. They will now head to the National U11 Boys Five-a- side Football Finals at the National Football Centre at St George’s Park.
Andrew Hampton, Headteacher at Thorpe Hall School, said: “To have one team reach a national final is quite an achievement but having two is exceptional. They’ll go on to play some of the best teams in the country and should all be feeling very proud. They’ve certainly got the whole school behind them.”
Well done from everyone at Exquisite!

Thorpe Hall School (4-11)
Southend
Thorpe Hall is a mid-sized co-educational day school accommodating children aged two to 16 on a thoughtfully arranged site in the Thorpe Bay area of Southend-on-Sea, easily accessible by car and public transportation services. The school has a vibrant and modern feel with a welcoming atmosphere, and is the only school within Essex to achieve Beach School status, with the locally accessible coastline providing a unique learning resource.
The school is strictly non-selective, meaning they cater for children of all abilities but, through its ‘think outside of the box’ approach to teaching led by dynamic head Andrew Hampton, coupled with an average class size of just 16 in the upper school, Thorpe Hall is able to showcase excellent results with 84% of students gaining 5 or more A* to C grades, including English and maths - well above the national average.
