St Thomas Werneth C of E Primary

‘Working Together, Friends Forever’

St. Thomas’ is a larger than average primary school which became two form entry in 2010. The school is situated in a deprived area. All pupils are from minority ethnic groups; the vast majority are Pakistani and Bangladeshi with an increasing proportion of pupils coming from Eastern European countries. Most pupils speak English as an additional language, as do their parents. Historically, standards of attainment have been low, mobility high, attendance problematic and engaging parents challenging.
