About the school
“Learning at St Thomas More extends beyond the classroom. Through the OPAL (Outdoor Play and Learning) and our Muddy Puddle outdoor learning approach, pupils are encouraged to explore, play and learn creatively in our outdoor spaces.”
Established school - open since before 2025. Became an academy in September 2025, continuing the school that was already there.
