Strengths
- “St Thomas More Catholic Comprehensive school is a loving community which is welcoming, safe, forgiving and positive.”
- “Pupils deeply respect each other and all the staff.”
- “They relish learning and love coming to school.”
To improve
- “However, in Years 7 and 8, pupils do not have the opportunity to study some subjects in depth.”
- “For example, in history, pupils do not have the chance to learn in much detail about 20th century history.”
- “Where this is the case, it affects some pupils’ ability to develop secure and deep knowledge.”
