Gareth Marriott, design director at Jan Kattein Architects, said: Thornhill Primary School now has a new library, but as a result of the co-design process it also has a bunch of budding architects and an even more tightly knit community who are proud to be associated with the school. The school wants pupils to develop a love for learning, and its new library is integral to achieving this mission, empowering children from as young as four to script an autonomous learning experience in an inspirational environment.

Not only Santa, but also two reindeer visited Thornhill Primary School on Tuesday.
With Islington schools looking like they would be closing early for Christmas due to the pandemic, the Thornhill Foundation pulled off a last-minute Christmas miracle to get the special guests in early.
Headteacher Jenny Lewis said: The foundation give a lot to our school and this is another [example] of the tremendous generosity that they provide for the children of Thornhill. So I want to say thank you to the foundation and the foundation want to show their appreciation for all the children and the staff. This morning has just been fantastic.
