St Thomas More's
Catholic Primary School
Cultural Week at St Thomas More's (9th - 13th March 2026)
This week was full of activities - from cooking fried rice in Year 4, wearing cultural dress on Wednesday, singing with Mrs Stone, and we finished with a fantastic celebration of food from around the world thanks to the generosity and creativity of our wonderful parents. Thank you everybody for all your support!
Welcome to St Thomas More's
A Message from our Headteacher
Welcome to our school website. Hopefully you will find all the information you need to give you a flavour of what our school is about. It’s a great school which is blessed in many ways with fabulous pupils, supportive parents, incredible staff and a real ‘family feel’.
We are very lucky to have the Church on our doorstep so that we can enjoy a close relationship with the Parish.
For a small school we achieve big things. Just a few examples: we host the maths hub for the whole of Essex, Southend and Thurrock, we lead on teacher training and we are a centre of excellence for phonics. This is all in addition to what we do best which is to provide a quality first education in a happy, supportive environment!
We are also part of The Rosary Trust, a MAT with six other Catholic schools, working together to provide the best education possible for our pupils. This collaboration continues to provide a network of ideas across the seven Catholic schools. We work closely together to share expertise but at the same time each school runs independently with its own Headteacher and Governing Body.
We have a great community here at St Thomas More’s with everyone working together for the benefit of the pupils in our care as they journey through the school. We enjoy hard work, we add a bit of a competitive spirit and we have lots of fun!
We look forward to meeting you!
