St Thomas More Catholic School

Bedford, MK41 7UL · Bedford · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 2 years ago Mixed Secondary Roman Catholic
5.9/10 Broadly average

5th of 13 secondary schools in Bedford we can score, 14 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 6.2/10 against 940 of them, against 6.2/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Based on official applications/offers, distance and catchment where we have it. Bands only — never a percentage.

Sibling, faith, looked-after and other criteria can override distance. Always confirm with the school or local authority.
