Strengths
- “St Thomas’ Church of England Primary School is a happy and welcoming place.”
- “It is very distinct in its community spirit.”
- “They live out the school’s vision of ‘growing, learning and shining together with God’.”
To improve
- “This support for implementing the curriculum is well established in several subjects, but not all.”

- “This means that the way in which staff explain new learning and select resources are not always ideal.”
