We have given you a flavour of what our school is about with our welcome video and our FAQ section. 

Our open morning dates for prospective parents looking for a place in September Reception 2023-2024 are being held on 4th October 2022/ 8th November 2022 . 

We understand that choosing a school for your child is a very important decision and one not to be taken lightly.

Should you have any specific questions relating to your child's needs, please email admissions@stm.bexley.sch.uk and we will answer queries as quickly as we possibly can.

Applications for casual admissions

Applications for the admissions process are online via the Bexley website. If you are applying to St Thomas More, as a Church school (VA), applications should be supported by our Supplementary Information Form which needs to be completed by parents, parish priest/minister and returned to the school. 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. Should you wish to appeal for a place please contact the Admissions Team on the office phone number: 0208 303 8322, so she can arrange to give you a copy of the forms and use this opportunity to be placed on our waiting list.

We aim to hear appeals within 30 working days.

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.
