St Thomas CE Primary School uses an admissions policy with the following priority order: 1) children in public care and previously looked after children; 2) children whose medical or social circumstances mean the school is the most suitable; 3) children who will have an older brother or sister attending the school; 4) baptised children whose parent/guardian is in regular attendance at an Anglican church within the parish; 5) baptised or dedicated children whose parent/guardian is in regular attendance at a church within Churches Together in Britain and Ireland or a local Churches Together organisation; 6) children whose families regularly attend another Church of England church in the Leigh Deanery and who live within parish boundaries; 7) all other children. A tie-breaker is distance from home to the school. The policy also notes details around evidence for certain criteria and other admissions procedures, including waiting lists and deferred/part-time entry rules.
