ABOUT ST THOMAS'
Growing, Learning and Shining together with God
St. Thomas’ C of E Academy, located in the heart of Wednesfield is a thriving, one-form entry primary school with a rich cultural mix and deep connections to the local community and St. Thomas’ Church. Established on its current site in the 1960s and becoming part of Manor Multi-Academy Trust in 2018, the school provides a warm, nurturing environment for 210 pupils from Nursery through to Year 6. With strong community links and a welcoming atmosphere, St. Thomas’ is dedicated to fostering growth, achievement, and respect for all. This academic year (2024-25) we have had our very first intake of nursery children which is an exciting development in the life of the school. Our nursery children have settled brilliantly and both reception and nursery children are enjoying an exciting curriculum as they start their school life with us. We look forward to many more intakes!
Confidence starts here!
Through a rich and varied curriculum, we help our students build the skills they need to thrive both academically and socially. From the very first day in our Nursery through to the final steps in Year 6, we nurture each child’s unique abilities, helping them to develop self-belief, resilience, and a love for learning. With a focus on developing emotional intelligence, problem-solving abilities, and leadership skills, we ensure that every child leaves our school feeling confident, capable, and ready for the next chapter of their education.
