Standing before St Thomas of Canterbury Church of England Aided Junior School, Brentwood, you might be surprised to learn that this grand building has a relatively recent history. The school, designed in the style of a traditional Victorian Gothic building, opened its doors in 1996. It replaced a much older, simpler structure that had served the community for decades. Though the school may be relatively new, it carries on a proud tradition of education and faith that has its roots in the church itself. The school has a strong sense of community, a strong emphasis on Christian values and a focus on providing a well-rounded education for its students. With just 310 pupils, St Thomas of Canterbury School is a relatively small school, but its size and commitment to its students are what make it so special. You might find it hard to believe that this institution that now educates students from ages 7 to 11 once had an earlier life as an infant and junior combined school – before being redivided in 1996. You are standing witness to a commitment to education that spans generations and this sense of history makes St Thomas of Canterbury School a truly unique place.
