## Recent parent reviews

- **5/5** — Fantastic school: St Thomas was and still is a great school. The staff are really nice and friendly. The students feel safe and are in a happy and caring environment. Sherly Farnworth was a great headteacher as proven by the outstanding Ofsted reports and Martin Vanhecke is carrying on her legacy and has made many great impacts on this school. This is a great school and im proud to send my child here. All 5 of my children have been to this school and it's been great *(Aug 2023)*
- **5/5** — A Wonderful Community: We've been so impressed with the warm welcome we've received at St Thomas CE Primary. The facilities are excellent and our child is thriving in a happy and supportive environment. We love the emphasis on spiritual growth and the strong relationships between staff, parents and children. *(Sep 2022)*
- **5/5** — Excellent Preparation for Future Success: We were delighted with the education our child received at St Thomas CE Primary. The school's focus on academic, emotional, physical and spiritual growth gave them a fantastic foundation for future success. We're grateful for the strong values they instilled and the wonderful memories we made as a family. *(Jan 2022)*
- **4/5** — Room for Improvement in Communication: We've been pleased with the progress our child has made at St Thomas CE Primary, but we've found the communication with teachers and the school office to be a bit patchy at times. We love the Christmas performances and the Celebration Assembly, but we feel that more regular updates on our child's progress would be helpful. *(Jun 2021)*
