Values and Vision

St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School’s mission statement is: ‘Christ is at the centre of our school community where we live, love and learn together’. It is a place where staff and students from all faiths live out the school mission. Leaders, teacher and governors share a vision of a holistic education and seek to develop committed learners and exceptional people.

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic School is unapologetically ambitious for the children we serve. The school pursues a knowledge-based approach; that is, the highest standards of behaviour and academic challenge for all regardless of background. In November 2018 the school was judged to be 'Good' by OFSTED. The next phase of development is to be a truly great Catholic school.
