Thornhill, is a small village that was first recorded in the 9th century although it could have been there well before that. It is not an affluent village and was until very recently a coal mining village .I know that 2 of the schools have been upgraded in the last few years so it will be interesting to see the progress in such a small community.
The village is on the outskirts of Dewsbury about 8 miles from me and has been integrated into that area.

Two years ago, the students and teachers at Passmores Academy in Harlow became legends in their own break time courtesy of Channel 4’s BAFTA-winning fly-on-the-wall documentary series Educating Essex. Now, it’s the turn of Thornhill Community Academy near Dewsbury. Here, Thornhill’s headteacher Jonny Mitchell reveals why he allowed cameras into his school, and what he feels about the experience now.
