St Thomas More Catholic School and Sixth Form College

Equally important to our taught curriculum is the portfolio of experiences to enable personal and social development and the development of citizenship and community work. These include work experience in KS4 and KS5, trips, careers related events, retreats, a wide range of well attended extra-curricular clubs, the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme, fundraising events, supporting others, mentoring and representing the school. All have the aim of helping our young people to develop their identity so they are ready and equipped to fully engage with life beyond school. Running parallel to this is the offer of opportunities within the Holy Spirit Experience. These commitments set out by the MAC focus on five key areas of school life such as Catholic Life; Charities and Social Action; The Residential Experience; Sporting Opportunities; Cultural and Creative Experiences and Destinations, Journeys and Vocations. The Holy Spirit Experience details opportunities that extend beyond the taught curriculum for every young person aged 3-18. We believe that experiences beyond the classroom are crucially important to all young people at St Thomas More Catholic Academy and Sixth Form College in shaping them as confident, resilient, articulate young adults.
