Admissions
Choosing the right school for your child is such an important decision, and we’re delighted that you are considering St Thomas of Canterbury. Our school is a welcoming, caring community rooted in our Catholic faith, where every child is known, valued and supported to grow in confidence and happiness.
At St Thomas's, our values guide everything we do. We encourage our children to show kindness, respect and compassion to others, while developing a love of learning and a sense of curiosity about the world around them. We want every child to feel safe, inspired and proud to be part of our school family, reaching their full potential in their own unique way.
The pages highlighted below will help you find everything you need to know about joining our school, from how to apply to opportunities to visit and experience our community first-hand. We warmly invite you to explore, get in touch with any questions, and come and see what makes St Thomas's such a special place.
Admissions Consultation 2028/29
Every year schools and academies are required to review their admission arrangements. The aim is to ensure that the arrangements continue to be appropriate, and that they comply with all the relevant requirements, particularly the national code of guidance and the policy of the Archdiocese. The Kent Catholic Schools’ Partnership is consulting on proposed changes to the admissions policy for all schools within our Trust to take effect for school admissions from September 2028. In this case the consultation period will run from 9 November 2026 to 21 December 2026.
You can find further information about the proposed changes at the following link Kent Catholic Schools' Partnership - Admissions: Public Consultation or by asking for a copy of the information at the school office.
