Visit of Rt Hon Nick Gibb MP

I did say that we were going to have a special visitor last week … and we most definitely did! Nick Gibb, the current government minister with responsibility for schools, requested to visit St Thomas Aquinas Catholic School because the Department for Education are aware of the fantastic work taking place in the school. He wanted to learn all about our journey of school improvement. He visited eight classrooms (more than we had planned!) and talked to lots of students (again, more than we had planned!). He even encouraged our Head Boy and Head Girl to apply to Oxford and Cambridge next year! He left the school very impressed by our students who he said were a real credit to themselves, their families and the school.
