Hi
We are looking to move and will be in the holycross and st thomas catchment.
Has anyone got recent experience with both schools? Thanks

I think St Thomas’ has a good reputation locally as the Catholic school of choice, but I always see their kids fighting on Friday afternoons… this might be par for the course with secondary age boys?

What kind of fighting? I stay close to another high school and often see boys play fighting a bit rough but not full blown fighting

I can’t help you with recent experience but back in the day I was a pupil at Holy Cross. It was a really lovely school. Actually, one of my then classmates is a teacher there now. I think St Thomas’s has a reasonable reputation.
