What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 February 2025

Pupils and staff at St Thomas are proud to belong to their school. Everybody demonstrates the school's values of love, trust, friendship and faith through their kindness and care for each other. Pupils enjoy school and feel safe because they are part of a happy team. The whole school community is united in having high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils are keen to learn and they persevere to produce high-quality work. They love to talk about their lessons and show impressive recall of recent learning. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), get the support they need to succeed. Pupils behave well and the school is calm and purposeful. Pupils enjoy warm relationships with adults. Pupils trust staff to listen and help them with any worries or concerns they may have. Children in the early years get off to a flying start. They learn to follow the school's routines quickly, share resources and cooperate with each other. They show great interest and enthusiasm in their learning. The school provides a range of trips that widen pupils' experiences beyond the local area, including to the zoo, farms and museums. These successfully bring classroom learning to life for pupils.

What the school should improve

  • The school does not always ensure that learning is adapted so that pupils who are ready to move on with their learning have opportunities to develop their understanding even further. This means that some opportunities to deepen pupils' knowledge and understanding are missed. The school should ensure that staff are able to adapt pupils' learning and challenge those who are ready to move on.
  • There are limited opportunities for pupils to try new games and activities at breaktimes, and pupils are not always interested in the clubs available to them. This means pupils do not get a wide range of opportunities to develop their interests and talents. The school should explore ways to offer accessible opportunities for all pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, so they can develop their talents.
