Our Catholic Life

Everyone is warmly welcomed at our school, you are greeted with kindness, care and compassion and respect. We hold our school values in high esteem as they have come directly from the Gospel Values.

The Catholic life of the school is rich in opportunities for children to encounter God and to deepen their relationship with Him as a loving, compassionate Father. Through prayer, liturgies and Religious Education lessons and through the relationships and support for each other, we enable children to come to know and love God. Displays of work in RE are of very high quality and can be seen in classrooms and all around the school, including the school's main reception area. Each class has a prayer focus area, with a liturgical cloth in the appropriate colour.

Prayer and Worship

Prayer and worship are central to the daily life of our school. We aim to provide opportunities for children's spiritual growth and development through participation in worship. In this way we aim to help the children to come to value and respect the power of prayer and its place in their relationship with God.

Pilgrimage of Hope

Y6 led the most beautiful Celebration of the Word yesterday, held outside on our beautiful, St Thomas’ was the 19 school on Mrs. Whittle’s Pilgrimage to deliver the candle of hope to all schools in KCSP.
