Thornhill Park School

Thornhill Park School is an independent specialist school based in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear for pupils aged 4-19


Our mission is to work together inspiring, supporting, celebrating and equipping autistic and neurodiverse children, young people and adults.

Pupils at Thornhill Park School Portland site received a visit from Tyne and Wear Fire Service.

This links in with this terms topic of 'Travel and Transport', as well as increasing understanding about fire safety and the people who help us. 

Pupils had the opportunity to explore the fire engine and equipment used. Pupils learned how they can become a firefighter, discovered more about the uniforms firefighters wear, and increased their understanding of how a fire engine works.
