St Thomas' Church of England Primary & Nursery School

I would like to wish you a very warm welcome to St. Thomas' C.E. Primary & Nursery School. We hope that you can get a sense of its energy, ambition and ethos from this website. St. Thomas' is a church primary school in the heart of Lydiate. St. Thomas’ is built on a Christian foundation; our vision statement of 'Let your Light Shine' is rooted in the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:16. Our vision expresses our belief that every child is uniquely created and deeply valued. The lighthouse symbol, central to our identity, reminds us that Christ is a constant light and guide. Through our Lighthouse curriculum, we seek to nurture, support and inspire each pupil so they can discover their god-given uniqueness, find their path, and shine brightly through their learning, actions and relationships.

Underpinning our school are our strong, caring relationships. All the children and staff know each other well, and every individual plays a vital part in the life of the school. We believe that children, families and staff, who are secure and happy, are confident to question, explore and learn.
