We are thrilled to announce that Thornton College has received the ISA Highly Commended Award for Junior School of the Year 2021. The Independent Schools Association (ISA) runs an annual national Awards programme and we are delighted to have been recognised by the judges. Well done to all our staff, students, parents and the whole school community for such an achievement.
Sister Brenda Kilbride
Sister Brenda has taught in the Congregation’s schools for many years, latterly working at Thornton College as a Religious Education teacher, as well as being responsible for the preparation of the liturgical music for the boarders and the community, a task that she now undertakes in our local parish, no other organist being available. She has a long experience of the work of a Provincial Councillor and a trustee. Sister Brenda went as a volunteer to our community in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2008-09 and then again in 2012-13. She returned to Thornton in August 2013 and resumed her previous duties there.
