St. Thomas the Apostle College
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St. Thomas the Apostle College is a Roman Catholic secondary school for boys in Nunhead, London. It was founded in 1965.
Its students on average achieve over 50% five A*-C Grades at G.C.S.E, often well above the national average. [citation needed] The school is strong in several sports such as football, [citation needed] with several former students going on to play professionally.
There are four houses, named after four English martyrs from the 16th century during the reign of Elizabeth I - Griffith, Gunstone, Saint John Jones and Saint John Rigby. Some confusion can be found in the details of the houses, because St. John Jones went by the name of 'Griffith' during the 16th century. [citation needed]
The current headmaster is Damian G. Fox. He replaced Dr. F.E. Tope in 2004. The associate principal is M. Wall.
