Martin Van Hecke

Executive Headteacher

On behalf of the Pupils, Staff, Governors, and trustees, a warm welcome to St Thomas's Church of England Primary School, a proud member of The Sycamore Church of England Trust. At St Thomas's, we believe in the transformative power of education guided by our Trust vision 'Grow together, Learn forever.'

Nestled in the heart of the community, our school embraces approximately 440 pupils, creating a vibrant and inclusive environment. We celebrate our richly diverse community, with a majority of pupils being of Pakistani heritage. This diversity not only sets us apart but also enriches the lives of our children, fostering understanding and appreciation of different cultures.

We are dedicated to providing a caring and nurturing learning environment, where every child can flourish. Our high standards in education are complemented by our commitment to cultivating a sense of adventure and wonder, encouraging the holistic development of each child.

Central to our school ethos is the development of spirituality. We understand that nurturing the spiritual well-being of our pupils is paramount. Through our carefully structured curriculum and the incorporation of collective worship, we create opportunities for reflection, prayer, and the exploration of faith. By instilling values such as compassion, empathy, and gratitude, we aim to foster a deep sense of spirituality within our school community.

At St Thomas's, flourishing extends beyond our pupils. Our dedicated staff and wider school community are equally valued and supported. We believe in fostering a collaborative and supportive environment, where the wellbeing and professional growth of our staff are prioritised. Through continuous professional development, we empower our staff to provide an exceptional education and nurture the potential of every child.

We also recognise the importance of strong partnerships with parents and carers. Together, we form a united front in supporting the growth and development of each child. Open lines of communication, mutual respect, and swift responsiveness ensure that concerns are addressed effectively, fostering a sense of trust and collaboration.

As the proud Executive Head Teacher of St Thomas Primary School, I am privileged to lead a school community where spirituality thrives, and individuals flourish. We invite you to explore our website, which offers valuable insights into our school, providing a glimpse into the remarkable educational journey our children embark upon.

Welcome to our extraordinary school, where spirituality, flourishing, and a love for learning unite to create a nurturing and inspiring environment for all.

‘With God all things are possible’
