Last night, we had a beautiful hike through the woods to Sheringham, where we enjoyed ice cream and playing on the beach in the evening sun. What a way to spend a Sunday evening! #stthomasofcanterbury #hilltopresidential #besttripever
Sending big Father's Day wishes to our Year 5/6 Dads. We do miss you, but we are having the best time!

Amber Heat Health Alert Due to the heatwave, we will be allowing children to wear PE kits all week to school. If your child's PE kit is in school, we will send this home on Monday. Please ensure your child wears a hat to school and has sun cream applied. They must have a hat to go outside. We will be encouraging children to use the shaded areas of the school grounds. Please ensure all children have a water bottle in school. Thank you for your continued support.

National Rail Safety Week This week, our children are taking part in activities to mark National Rail Safety Week. Through engaging videos and class discussions, pupils are learning about how to stay safe around railways and why it is so important to follow safety advice near tracks, stations and level crossings. The children are exploring real-life scenarios, discussing potential risks and considering how their choices can help keep themselves and others safe. #NationalRailSafetyWeek #RailSafety #SwitchedOn #KeepingSafe
Our Wednesday truly ROCKED! Today we welcomed the fantastic Rocksteady Music School to St Thomas of Canterbury, and what an incredible launch it was! From the very first note, the hall was buzzing with excitement as children had the opportunity to sing, play instruments and experience the thrill of performing as part of a band. The smiles, enthusiasm and confidence on display were simply amazing. Rocksteady's inclusive, band-based approach allows children to explore music, develop new skills and grow in confidence while having fun with their friends. It was wonderful to see so many children embracing the opportunity and loving every second of it. We can't wait to see our future rock stars develop their talents next year. You should have received a letter home but we will also send the information out by email. #RocksteadyMusicSchool #OurWednesdayRocked #MusicMatters #FutureRockStars #StThomasOfCanterbury

This afternoon, we celebrated a beautiful First Holy Communion Mass and Tea Party for our wonderful Year 3 children who have recently made, or are preparing to make, their First Holy Communion. It was a joyful occasion filled with prayer, reflection, friendship, and celebration as we marked this special milestone in their faith journey. The children looked fantastic and enjoyed sharing this memorable day together with their classmates, staff, and parish community. We are so proud of each and every one of them and keep them in our prayers as they continue to grow in faith and love. #FirstHolyCommunion #FaithJourney #Year3 #CatholicSchool #BlessedDay
