On behalf of our pupils, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you and your family to St Thomas of Canterbury School. We are a nurturing, half form entry Catholic Primary School in rural Puckeridge, East Hertfordshire. We strive to provide the best possible education in a caring, Christian environment.
It's beginning to feel a lot more festive at St Thomas of Canterbury-the children's purple advent decorations adorning the tree remind us that we are in a special time of waiting and preparation Thank you to our incredible PTA for their efforts manning the sponsored bounce today.
The children had the best time raising valuable funds for new sports equipment #pta #primaryschool #fun #fundraising #activelifestyle to find out more, please come to our Junior Duke information session for parents next week. #lifeskills #personaldevelopment #primaryschooleducation The school's phone lines and internet are currently down.
