St Thomas More Catholic School
God's servant first
Hello, I hope you are all well. Isn’t it unbelievable to think that we are now two weeks away from the closing of school for our summer holidays? I think apart from the usual feeling that time moves faster and faster each year, arriving at this point seems all the more unbelievable because we have not been together as a community of teachers, support staff, children and parents as we usually would be.

Taken from the latest issue of More News: Hello, may I begin by thanking you for the many kind and most thoughtful cards, emails, texts into school and offers of Mass on the passing of my mother. I cannot begin to tell you how supportive Continue reading …
Good morning everyone, I hope both you and all at home are well and ready for the new day. We had a really positive day here at school yesterday. We welcomed back some of our Year 12 students and are getting ready to welcome some Continue reading …
Taken from the latest issue of More News: This Headteacher’s notice was written before the sad news of Mrs Bowen’s mother’s death on 4 June 2020. Hello, I really do hope you are well and keeping safe. So much seems to be at odds at Continue reading …
Hello, I do hope this edition of More News continues to find you all well. Again, I must begin by extending my sincere thanks to you as our Parents/Carers for your continued support, encouragement and unfailing resilience over recent weeks. Continue reading …
Hello, I hope you had an enjoyable Easter and have returned to some semblance of normality in these most unusual of times. I must begin by praising our students for their resilience and determination both to do and to give of their best whilst displaced from school.

Hello to you all. If ever our more remote/virtual methods of communication were to find their place, I think we would all agree that this is it. May I begin by saying a hugely heart felt and sincere thank you to each and everyone of you for the tremendous support, encouragement and levels of engagement given on the ‘home front’ during these last two weeks. I am only too well aware that this is not something any of you as Parents/Carers thought you would find yourself doing but doing it you are and, may I say, in grand style too. Continue reading …
Hello, may I start by thanking all of you as our Parents/Carers for your ongoing support, encouragement and understanding as we try to navigate our way through this rather unsettling and unusual period of time.
I appreciate that you must have a growing number of questions and I will endeavour to answer as many of these as I can here. Continue reading …
Hello, should you have been in to school over the last week you will notice that the display in our reception area has changed to reflect the season of Lent. Our parish notices have been printed on purple paper. Our Lenten prayer hearts decorating our prayer tree are printed on purple card and our display table is covered in purple material. The reason for using purple is because it is the colour used in the Catholic Church to denote a period of reflection and preparation. In this instance we, as a school community, have commenced our six week period of reflection in preparation for the celebration of Easter. Continue reading …
Hello, as we close for half term I would like to thank you all for your consistent support and help. We continue to welcome our children into school each morning in full school uniform, equipped for the day and ready for work. Continue reading …
