Top 10 nationally for Progress 8 (2024): St Thomas the Apostle School
St Thomas the Apostle School and Sixth Form is a boys’ Catholic school with a mixed sixth form in the heart of South East London. Their intake reflects their multi-faith community and they are a very popular choice in the local area, with families recognising the outstanding all-round education they are able to provide.
The school continues to be proud of its outstanding results. Their most recent Progress 8 score showed students achieved significantly above expected across their subjects, placing them among the top 10 in England for progress. Sixth form results are also impressive, with most students transferring to their chosen universities or apprenticeships, including Oxbridge destinations for some. These exceptional results are consistently high thanks to the hard work and dedication of students and their teachers, who also provide a rounded and extensive extracurricular programme.
The school was inspected by Ofsted in November 2024 who praised every aspect, judging that the school has maintained its outstanding level of education, commenting that STAC is 'an inspiring, exciting, and highly successful school' where 'positive attitudes to learning are exemplary' and 'outcomes and progress are exceptional'.
The school’s intake is genuinely comprehensive, and students attend the school from boroughs across the south and east of London. STAC looks forward to welcoming you to their Open Events in September.
