About this school

Ofsted judgement
St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School has not been inspected by Ofsted yet. It opened in its current form in November 2026, and new or converted schools usually wait a few years for their first inspection.
Before converting it was St Thomas of Canterbury Catholic Primary School. The history below belongs to that predecessor school, not to the school as it runs today.
