About Thornhill Academy

Thornhill Academy is a mixed secondary school on Thornholme Road, a short distance south-west of the city centre. It takes pupils aged 11 to 16 and has around 530 pupils on roll, according to the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register. It does not have a sixth form, so students move on to college or another sixth form at 16.

The school was formerly Thornhill School Business and Enterprise College and became an academy in 2017, sponsored by Consilium Academies. The school's website has admissions information, term dates and contact details, and Year 7 places are applied for through Sunderland City Council's coordinated admissions process.
