St.Thomas' Church of England Junior and Infant School was opened in 1870 and is a voluntary aided school in the Diocese of Liverpool. The Christian ethos of the school is at the heart of all we do and Christian values underpin daily life. Our strong connection with the parish church of St.Thomas, Golborne means that we have an important role to play in church and community life. We also have strong links with local primary and secondary schools in Golborne and Lowton (LOGOS). The group has recently gone into partnership with primary schools in Leigh (Leigh, Lowton and Golborne Partnership) in order to work together on all aspects of school improvement and development.

The school was inspected by Ofsted in May 2010 and was judged to be a good school. The church school inspection in June 2010 judged provision through the distinctive church school ethos to be outstanding.

The school offers a safe, happy and creative environment in which every child is able to thrive, achieve and feel special. Ofsted (2010) judged pupils' progress to be good.

The artwork in our entrance hall (pictured above)reflects the life of our school in the community and is based on stained glass windows in the church.
