On behalf of our pupils, staff and governors, I would like to welcome you and your family to St Thomas of Canterbury School.
We are a nurturing, half form entry Catholic Primary School in rural Puckeridge, East Hertfordshire. We strive to provide the best possible education in a caring, Christian environment.

Happy playtimes = happy, active children We love seeing our children enjoying their lunchtime play-including one of our brand-new climbing domes, generously purchased by our fabulous PTA @stocpta_puckeridge #ActivePlay #SchoolFun #PTA #OutdoorLearning #HappyChildren PlaytimeAdventures
We've had some very special visitors in our early years area... a little family of blue tits has made a home in one of our bird boxes! The children have been so excited watching nature up close. They've been painting beautiful blue tits, creating signs, and learning all about our feathered friends. They also noticed something very important our school uniform colours are the same as the blue tit's colours! The children said that's why the birds must feel so happy and welcome here in our playground, and we couldn't agree more. We love seeing curiosity, creativity, and kindness towards nature grow together every day. #BlueTitFamily #OutdoorLearning #NatureInThePlayground #CuriousMinds #eyfs

We've had the BEST day celebrating Sir David Attenborough's milestone birthday From meeting some incredible creatures, to watching clips from his amazing documentaries, enjoying outdoor learning adventures, and of course eating plenty of cake What a wonderful way to celebrate a true inspiration who has helped generations fall in love with the natural world #DavidAttenborough #OutdoorLearning #NatureInspires #LearningThroughNature @davidattenborough

We've been working hard recently to expand our playtime provision and add even more exciting opportunities for the children to enjoy! This week we introduced jumbo chalks outdoors, encouraging creativity, mark making, and lots of imaginative fun We've also added a new colouring table, which has already been incredibly popular with the children! It's been wonderful to see them so engaged, creative, and enjoying time together. We can't wait to continue adding new experiences and activities over the coming weeks watch out for a very exciting purchase from our wonderful PTA! #PrimarySchool #PlaytimeFun #PTASupport #OutdoorPlay #CreativePlay

Celebrating the Month of May Today our school community came together for a beautiful Marian procession and crowning of Mary. Our children walked prayerfully, carrying flowers to honour Mary, showing love, respect, and devotion in a truly special way. The highlight of the celebration was the crowning of Mary, reminding us of her importance in our faith and her role as a loving mother to us all. The children sang joyfully and participated with such reverenceit was a wonderful reflection of our school spirit and values. A big well done to all our pupils for their thoughtful participation, and thank you to staff and families who helped make this celebration so meaningful. #MonthOfMay #MarianProcession #CrowningOfMary #CatholicSchoolLife #FaithInAction
