About us:
St Thomas Catholic Voluntary Academy is proud to continue a tradition of Catholic education that has formally existed from the 1860s for the children of Ilkeston and the surrounding areas. The current school premises date from 1974 and over the years, the original open-plan school has been extended and altered to improve our learning offer to our children.
We aim to create a caring Christian atmosphere based on our mission statement and the five Gospel values of Love, Respect, Honesty, Forgiveness and Friendship, and a love of Christ which teaches children respect for themselves and for others. We feel this atmosphere makes everyone aware that they should contribute towards the Christian ethos of our school.
Our school encourages everyone to grow in faith through prayer and worship and seeks to recognise that each individual is valued as being unique. We will provide a curriculum which will develop the full potential of every child. We strongly encourage the partnership between the school, home and parish and aim to foster a strong and purposeful relationship with the wider community.
