Why choose St Thomas More Catholic Primary School?
At St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, we are committed to achieving strong academic outcomes while nurturing the whole child through our Catholic values and Ethos. Faith, kindness and respect are at the heart of everything we do, creating a caring and inclusive environment where children grow spiritually, morally, socially and academically. Our aim is simple: to positively affect the life and future of every child; ensuring every pupil leaves us confident, compassionate and fully prepared for the next stage of their education.
We offer a broad, engaging and carefully sequenced curriculum that builds on what children already know and understand. High expectations, skilled teaching and personalised support ensure that all pupils are challenged and supported, regardless of their starting point. Alongside academic excellence, we place great importance on wellbeing and pastoral care, so every child feels safe, valued and ready to learn.
Cultural capital is a key strength of our school. Through our rich curriculum and wide range of experiences, we prepare children for life beyond the classroom. We celebrate diversity and recognise the unique backgrounds, cultures and experiences that each child brings. By working closely with families and our local community, we inspire curiosity, ambition and creativity, helping children develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to follow different pathways in life.
Learning at St Thomas More extends beyond the classroom. Through the OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) and our Muddy Puddle outdoor learning approach, pupils are encouraged to explore, play and learn creatively in our outdoor spaces. These experiences support problem‑solving, teamwork, resilience and independence, while making learning fun and memorable.
We also provide a rich programme of extracurricular activities, including sport, music, clubs and enrichment opportunities, allowing pupils to discover new interests and develop important life skills.
Our welcoming school community works in close partnership with parents and carers, valuing open communication and shared responsibility. With dedicated staff, a strong sense of belonging and a nurturing ethos, St Thomas More is a place where children truly thrive.
As our pupils say:
“The school has helped me grow both spiritually and mentally.”
“The school has nurtured my confidence.”
“I’ve made lots of beautiful friendships.”
