St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Primary School

At St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Primary School, we offer a varied curriculum which is further enhanced by extra-curricular activities and clubs.  Sport and music are very important to us and we offer many opportunities for children to take part in a variety of sport and musical activities.

As a Catholic school our mission is based upon the value and respect of every person as an individual. By following in the footsteps of Jesus, we aim to make the ‘heart, mind and spirit soar’. In order to achieve this, we expect high standards of behaviour and we promote the building of solid relationships between all individuals so that they remain happy and confident to work independently. Our Catholic ethos and values permeate through all areas of school life and we are privileged to play a part in helping all of the children develop and grow into confident, caring, respectful outward-looking individuals who, in turn, value one another as children of God.  Pastoral care is very important to us and children are nurtured into becoming successful, independent and confident learners.

Our links with Adv4nce Group deliver high quality teaching to the children and training to the staff and consequently we are very proud of our sporting reputation within the city and the county!

Children also have the opportunity to develop their musical talents in many ways though our links with the City Music and Performing Arts Service. We have a large number of children who participate in musical tuition including Songbirds, Youth Choir, recorders, whole class ukulele lessons, woodwind, brass and strings. Children take part in national events such as Young Voices, as well as city and school concerts.

We are part of St Gabriel the Archangel Catholic Multi Academy Trust which is a growing family of 63 schools across the Archdiocese of Birmingham, united by a shared mission to deliver excellent Catholic education that transforms lives.

We are inspired by St Gabriel the Archangel and guided by five values that shape our culture: Confidence & Humility, Peace & Courage, Faith in the Impossible, Listening with Love and Service Beyond Self. These values drive our commitment to helping every pupil and colleague flourish within our Trust.
