"Achieving Excellence with Care"
St Thomas the Apostle College is a Voluntary Aided Secondary School in the Catholic Archdiocese of Southwark. The school is conducted by its governing body as part of the Catholic Church in accordance with its trust deed and instrument of government. Catholic families will be admitted above all others but the College does have a considerable number of practising Christians, those of other faiths and those of no faith on its roll. We pride ourselves on the inclusive nature of our school and celebrate diversity. We welcome boys of all faiths and religions and strive to provide a first-rate education to all, irrespective of race, creed, colour, culture or special need. All applicants must declare their positive support for the College aims and ethos. This does not affect the right of parents who are not of the faith of this school to apply for and be considered for a place here.
