About St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Primary School

St Thomas Aquinas Catholic Primary School sits comfortably above the Milton Keynes average for its type, with 73% of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2, compared with the local authority average of 62%. That places the school 8th out of 54 primary schools in Milton Keynes, putting it in the top 25% nationally. The school is oversubscribed by a ratio of 2:1, with 48 applications for 24 places in the 2025/26 intake, and 23 of those 24 places went to first-preference applicants. This level of demand suggests local parents see something worth securing. The school’s most recent Ofsted inspection, in December 2024, judged it Good overall, but with two Outstanding ratings — for behaviour and attitudes, and for personal development. That’s a notable improvement from its previous inspection in March 2023, when it was rated Requires Improvement overall, with leadership and management also at that level.
