About Thomas's Putney Vale

Thomas’s Putney Vale is a new independent senior school in South West London. Nestled behind the A3 and backing onto Wimbledon Common, we are a school for pupils in Years 9-11 that is looking to meet the needs of the national education system whilst also seeking the opportunity to go beyond it.

Pupils and staff at Thomas’s Putney Vale will transfer to Thomas’s College in Richmond, which will open in September 2025, initially for Years 7 to 12, building to a capacity of 630 pupils up to Year 13. Pupils and staff will remain at our senior school site in Putney Vale until summer 2025 and will then transfer to the new school, Thomas’s College for September 2025. Thomas’s College will offer weekly and flexi-boarding options.

This acquisition will enable the provision of full secondary education from Years 7 to 13 (ages 11 to 18) on one unique and historic site, in a location that is unparalleled for a London school.

Our Aims

Thomas’s schools aim to provide an outstanding education for young people aged 4 to 16 which is forward-thinking and outward-looking, with values at its heart.

We believe in kindness at the core. We are a Christian school, open to families of all faiths and none. We aim to instil a strong set of values, first by example and also through exceptional pastoral care. We believe that individual wellbeing is of primary importance, with a corresponding commitment to service leadership and community.

We take a four-dimensional approach to education, developing knowledge, skills, character and meta-learning. We offer a curriculum that fosters an enquiry mindset, is inspiring, relevant and contemporary and ensures both breadth and depth of educational experience.

We aim to prepare pupils not only to remember, but also to think creatively; to analyse age-appropriate, complex issues and to be ready for life as well as work in a globalised, digital and connected world.

It is our aim that every pupil leaves Thomas’s with core values and a strong sense of social responsibility; inner strength and positive physical and mental health; academic success and a love of learning. We strive to ensure that a Thomas’s education equips all of our pupils students with optimism about and preparedness for the future, setting them on a path to become net contributors to society and to flourish as successful, conscientious and caring citizens of the world.
