## Recent parent reviews

- **1/5** — Its so horrendously bad: its horrendous little to no support for students. Most the staff have given little support on revision tips that are useful (the business and English departments have excelled in revision support) As for cleanliness it is so dirty with so much gum and dirt on the floors and tables, the toilets are all a mess and are now doerless with cameras. There are fights everyday and most the staff are so strict and one had given someone a isolation because they got corrected. *(Mar 2025)*
- **1/5** — Stm beds: It’s very bad and there is no support for students *(Oct 2024)*
- **5/5** — Fantastic School: We've been really pleased with St Thomas More Catholic School. My child has settled in well and the teachers are always available to discuss their progress. The facilities are great and the values of the school are clearly reflected in the way the students interact with each other. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — A Great Choice: We chose St Thomas More because of its strong Catholic ethos and excellent reputation in the area. Our child is really enjoying the school and the teachers are supportive and knowledgeable. We're confident they'll make a great choice for our child's future. *(May 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed Experience: We had a mixed experience at St Thomas More. The school has a lot of great facilities and the teachers are generally good. However, we felt that the school could have done more to support our child with their SEN needs. Maybe with some tweaks, it could be 5 stars! *(Nov 2021)*
- **1/5** — St Thomas: From primary I always thought stm was a good school. St Thomas More is possibly one of the worst schools in the UK. Fights every week, the school is dirty and the methods of teaching is poor. If u get a second warning u get a negative point which is fair but it’s gives a text to the parents.You can get sent out the classroom for just saying a word it’s like prison! Don’t recommend coming to stm at all hope ofsted close the school down *(Jun 2021)*
