Our Community Links
St Thomas' School was founded in 1904, and since that time has played a large part in the local parish and community which we are a part of and serve. This continues today as we encourage the children to become productive members of their local community and to embrace and enhance that which is already on offer. We work with our local Church and Parish, with other local schools and other organisations within the surrounding area.
Here are some of the organisations we have worked with or we have supported in our Community:
- St Thomas' Church
- St Thomas' Nursery
- St Annes Library
- I-Hope Fylde
- Delaheys Care Home
- Porritt House Care Home
- The Hamptons Care Home
- Trinity Hospice and Brian House Children's Hospice
- The Coastal Collective - working in partnership with other local schools & The Lytham Schools Foundation
- The Lytham Schools Foundation Charitable Trust

Reception children visit the local Library each half term. They enjoy browsing and listening to stories Lots of them have become members too - we are encouraging a life long love of reading. All other year groups visit at least once a year.
Reading at Porritt House
Reception children shared story books and chatted to the residents of Porritt House. They were very popular visitors!
