St Thomas' Catholic Primary School, Canterbury

We chose St Thomas' because of its strong Catholic values and friendly atmosphere. My child loves the 'ACT' motto and the way the teachers help the children to be aspirational and kind to one another. We've been really impressed with the school's commitment to the children's spiritual development.

I was a bit nervous about sending my child to a Catholic school, but St Thomas' has been a wonderful experience. The teachers are all so supportive and the values they promote in the children are fantastic. My child loves the Christmas displays every year and the trip to the Rare Breeds Centre was a highlight of the summer term.

I have two children who attended St Thomas' and I was impressed with the education they received. The staff are all very friendly and approachable, and the facilities are great. However, I do think that the school could do more to involve parents in the decision-making process.
