iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Headteacher's Welcome! It is my great privilege to welcome visitors to St Thomas More's school website. At St. Thomas More's, we aim to ensure that every child leaves our school feeling they have achieved more than they ever expected. We aim to offer them opportunities and experiences that shape who they are now, and what they become in the future.
We encourage children to respect the contribution that every human being can make to society, following in the footsteps of Christ, our teacher and saviour. I hope as you navigate this website, you will witness for yourself a caring Catholic community bound by the Holy Spirit and a common goal to fulfil that vision.
