Supplementary forms must also returned into the school office.
Appeals
We recognise the disappointment you may face should your child not have been offered a place at St Thomas More Catholic Primary School.

Evidence of Catholic Practice following Coronavirus Outbreak
This is directly from the School Admissions Advice document via the Education Commission of Southwark. Please read below;
The suspension of the obligation to attend Sunday Mass was announced on 18th March 2020 by Bishops' Conference of England and Wales. If a parent/carer attended Mass at a particular parish (or parishes) prior to 18th March 2020 then they will be considered to have attended Mass in that parish (or parishes) regularly since that time. This will remain the case until the Sunday obligation is reintroduced by the Bishops.
Parish Boundaries- St John Vianney and St Thomas More
Below is the map of the parish boundaries for St John Vianney and St Thomas More. These parish boundaries are used for admission purposes. Any children who live within these boundaries and are baptised Catholic will fall into Category 2.
Supplementary form
The application form for the school should be completed through Bexley Borough.
You will then need to complete a supplementary form which needs to be handed into the school office with copies of;
Current council tax
Your child's birth certifcate
Baptism certificate if they have one.
All of these documents that you bring alongside your supplemntary form should all be the original documents.
