St Thomas Church of England Primary School is located at Pimhole Road, Bury, in the Lancashire BL9 7EY postal code. The institution has a dedicated, outstanding leadership team headed by Mr Martin Van Hecke, who is assisted by a dedicated special educational needs coordinator, Mrs Caroline Haughton, and an engaged parental support contact, Mrs Afsana Begum.

The school crystalizes its ethos in the motto, "With God, all things are possible," and fosters an atmosphere of enriching experiences, trust, friendship, respect, and kindness. St. Thomas is an academy converter, sponsored by Bury Local Authority, with a mixed gender population of about 419 students aged 5 to 11.

The school strives to create a welcoming environment where happiness, friendship, respect, and kindness flourish, and its corporate prayer reflects this vision. St Thomas's is the successor of a predecessor school, as it is a branch school that converted to academy status, which means its historical inspection data is still significant. It should be noted that this school's latest inspection may not reflect the current experiences, as it is linked to the inspection history of the predecessor school. Nonetheless, St Thomas's maintains a standard of excellence for its pupils under the current leadership.
