About St Thomas More Catholic Primary School

St Thomas More Catholic Primary School sits well above the Greenwich local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 71%, this school achieves 81% — a clear ten-point gap in its favour. That places it 8th out of 57 primary schools in the borough, comfortably inside the top 25% nationally. The school’s Progress 8 data isn’t available, but its raw scores tell a strong story: average reading and maths scores of 108 and 105 respectively, both above the national benchmark of 100. At the higher standard, 7% of pupils hit the top tier across all three subjects, with 33% reaching that level in reading and 30% in maths. For a school where nearly a third of pupils (31.8%) are eligible for free school meals, these results punch well above what you might expect from the demographic profile alone.
