Facilities
There are numerous leisure facilities, groups and organisations including the County Arts Club on Plumstead Road, Thorpe Kite Flyers, Starlight Express Majorettes and the Oasis Sports and Leisure Centre on Pound Lane. Religious groups of many denominations meet regularly all over Thorpe.
One of the local schools in the area is Thorpe St Andrew High School; it has been established for at least 50 years.
In recent years, Thorpe St Andrew has expanded eastwards in the shape of the Dussindale housing development, which includes Dussindale Primary School, which opened in 2007 and Broadland business park.
Thorpe St Andrew is also the home of Norwich's new radio station: 99.9 Radio Norwich. The studios are based near Thorpe River Green and the station started broadcasting on 29 June 2006.
Adat Yeshua Messianic Synagogue meets regularly at Roxley Hall on the Yarmouth Rd in Thorpe St Andrew. Information is available on the website www.adatyeshua.co.uk

—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
