On behalf of the children, staff and governors may I offer you a warm welcome to St Thomas CE (VC) Junior school. We are incredibly proud of everyone at our school, and the rich and varied curriculum that we strive to offer to our children. The needs of our children are always at the forefront of all that we do and we aim to work closely with parents building positive relationships that help contribute to our work. In our school, children receive the gift of education within a culture that values their individuality and prepares them effectively as lifelong learners. This is summarised in our school motto – “The heart of education is education of the heart.” Our Vision of ‘We Teach, We Learn We Care as Jesus did” alongside Christian Values provides the framework for all aspects of school life and underpins the daily experience for everyone in our school. With my very best wishes Cathy Hampshire - Headteacher
