About St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School

St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School is a mixed secondary and sixth form in Birmingham, one of 95 state secondary schools in the local authority. It sits within a competitive landscape where three schools top the local performance rankings: Eden Boys' School, Birmingham, St Paul's School for Girls, and Eden Girls' Leadership Academy, Birmingham. The school is rated Good by Ofsted, while 14 schools across the borough hold the top Outstanding grade. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is Kings Norton Girls' School, about 1.5 km away. As a Roman Catholic school, it serves a community of 1,190 pupils aged 11 to 18, led by headteacher Chris Martin. Its position in the local hierarchy is solid but not elite, and for families prioritising faith-based education alongside decent standards, it offers a clear alternative to the higher-ranked selective or single-sex options nearby.
