The school today

In 2013, the pupils achieved 91% 5 A-Cs in GCSE, including English and Maths, putting them at the top of the table of Haringey secondary schools to become the "most improved school in the country".[5] St Thomas More achieved academy status in March 2013 and Ofsted judged the school to be outstanding in June 2013.

New buildings include a Duke of Edinburgh Award training centre, a dance studio, music studios, drama studios, a multi gym and a floodlit astroturf pitch.[2]
