At the centre of the school is love, a love of learning, service and improvement. With Jesus Christ as our teacher, we work to serve, contributing through education, to the wider community, to our parishes and our world. Christ has no hands or feet on earth but ours; we are His servants.
By doing more and being more we recognise that it is through education that we can achieve our goals. At St Thomas More we aim to develop learners who: Understand that they have a role in Gods world children will leave St Thomas More educated, confident and inspired.
We are a friendly, caring, and successful Catholic school, serving the two parishes of St Thomas More & St John Vianney in Bexleyheath. We are in the London Borough of Bexley, in the Archdiocese of Southwark. It is my pleasure to welcome you to St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, where faith, learning, and personal growth go hand in hand.
Rooted in Gospel values, our school is a place where every child is nurtured, inspired, and encouraged to reach their full potential in all aspects of school life.
