Thomas's Battersea

Thomas’s Battersea is a buzzing, happy school in the heart of London, alive with curiosity, creativity, and purpose. Walk our corridors and you will feel the warmth of the welcome, the energy in classrooms, and the deep-rooted kindness that binds our community. We place our belief in strong values, co-curricular passions, and academic excellence; it’s a place where children can be themselves, where their skills are noticed and nurtured, and where they are encouraged to aim high and enjoy their educational journey.

Our facilities match our ambition: light-filled classrooms, inspiring arts spaces, a vibrant playground, and excellent sport and outdoor learning provision. Exceptional staff bring expertise and spark to every lesson and activity, creating an atmosphere that is both purposeful and joyful. Professional development is a central priority, and our recognition as an Apple Distinguished School reflects our commitment to innovation in teaching and learning.

The staffroom feels like a family - supportive, collaborative, and proud to celebrate one another’s success.

Academically, pupils are stretched and supported in equal measure, building the knowledge, skills and confidence to excel at their first-choice senior schools. Many secure scholarships and awards across disciplines. Beyond the classroom, a rich co-curricular programme, including performing arts, competitive sport, outdoor education and clubs, helps children develop resilience, creativity, leadership and a strong sense of self.

Pastoral care sits at the centre of everything. We know each child well and work closely with families to guide next steps at 11+ and 13+. With Thomas’s College offering a pathway to 18, our pupils grow within a community that knows them, champions them, and prepares them superbly for the wider world.

Looking ahead, from September 2026 our Kindergarten will merge with Thomas’s Battersea, uniting us on one site for pupils aged 3-13. Planned enhancements include dedicated early-years spaces and flexible outdoor areas, further strengthening the joyful start and confident progression into Reception and beyond.

If you are excited by a warm, ambitious, and relentlessly pupil-centred school, where excellent teaching, exceptional facilities and strong teamwork help children thrive, we would love to hear from you. At Thomas’s, a strong sense of community lies at the heart of everything we do, where giving rather than taking takes centre stage and every individual contributes to something greater than themselves.

The very best of luck with your application.
