About St Thomas of Canterbury RC School

St Thomas of Canterbury is a Roman Catholic Primary School where the ethos is fostered by the teaching of Our Lord and that of the Catholic Church; where everyone recognises the need to work together as a “family”, showing love and concern for all our members.
Our mission statement, ‘Growing into full life with Jesus; learning, living and loving together to make a difference’, is at the heart of everything we do and we look to every member of the school community to make its aim a daily reality.
We aspire to help every child reach their full potential as a child of God. The Word of God is central to all that we do. We aim to provide an excellent education where kindness, respect and tolerance are promoted and developed.
Our Mission is to foster strong relationships between home, school, parish and the wider community in the way we welcome, value, care for and respect each other. We teach pupils about the Catholic religion and how to live their lives as missionary disciples of Christ. RE is the core of the core curriculum and we believe it is evident every day in the attitudes, responsibilities and skills we try to develop in our children, in the example of the staff and in the way we treat everyone we come into contact with.
We ensure that our children develop in all aspects of life, spiritually, morally, socially, culturally, intellectually, physically and emotionally.

Through our Christian example and belief, together with quality education, we prepare our children for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of life, forming children who are confident in witnessing to the beliefs and values of a Catholic community so they make a positive contribution to society. Our children have a highly defined sense of fairness and justice. They know their responsibilities in terms of equal opportunities, stewardship and reconciliation.
As a Catholic community, we are committed to the belief that everyone is treated with fairness, justice, compassion, inclusiveness, love, respect and has the opportunity for a quality education in a spiritual environment. We aspire to live out our mission by:
Ensuring our children learn by example in a Christian, caring family atmosphere where each member is valued and encouraged to develop their talents to the best of their ability.
Teaching our children to think creatively, develop independent attitudes and build relationships that allow each of them to reach their full potential.
Providing a stimulating environment where all children are happy, healthy and motivated to learn, with high expectations for all.
Promoting a climate and ethos in our school which enables our children to grow and flourish, become confident individuals, and appreciate their own worth and that of others.
Preparing our pupils for life in modern Britain through promoting our pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural (SMSC) development and fundamental British Values to become responsible members of society.
Seeking to provide a range of opportunities to develop our children’s self-esteem, confidence, teamwork, leadership skills and reliance.
Helping our children learn how to learn; to work with concentration, resilience and perseverance, independently and in co-operation with others.
