St Thomas More RC School is mixed comprehensive school in Wood Green, London N22. The School was founded in 1952 at Holcombe Road Tottenham, N17 fourteen years after work had begun on the buildings [1], and has recently been given specialist sports college status. The School has 1125 students, including 158 in its sixth form (April 2007 figures). It is the only Roman Catholic secondary school in the London Borough of Haringey.

It is located 250 yards north of White Hart Lane.

In 2010 the school was in the news after incidents of robbing, drinking and drug taking in and around the school by students. [2]

A £3 million building programme has just been completed including a Duke of Edinburgh Award Training Centre and Floodlit Astroturf pitch.
