St Thomas More's Catholic
Primary School and Pre-School
At St Thomas More’s, we are passionate about the power of sport and physical activity. We believe that we provide a dynamic and inclusive physical education curriculum for our students. Through these experiences, we aim to not only improve children’s physical well-being, through a variety of different sports, but also their mental well-being by increasing their self-confidence and resilience.
In addition to our curriculum work, we have a club list that offers a wide range of sporting clubs each week. Many of these extra-curricular activities are run by our teaching staff or by highly qualified sports coaches. Through our sports administrator, we are able to enter our children into many sporting fixtures with local schools. St Thomas More’s pupils have an opportunity to represent our school in football, netball, basketball, dodgeball, table tennis and many more. Furthermore, we believe that the opportunity for competitive sport should be available to everybody, which is why we run house tournaments between our four houses, Colvin, Romero, Gandhi and Therese.
One aspect that our school has recently become involved in is to provide our children with opportunities to watch professional sport. Already this year, our children have been to a range of professional events, including an FA Cup Final at Wembley. We believe that watching professional athletes can inspire our children to believe that they are as amazing as we know they are.
