Teacher of PE and Girls' Games

Thomas’s Clapham opened in 1993 on the site of the former Clapham County Girls’ School on Broomwood Road between Wandsworth and Clapham Commons. By then, Thomas’s Kensington had opened in 1981 and the original Thomas’s had moved to larger premises and become Thomas’s Battersea in 1989. Thomas’s Kindergarten had opened nearby in 1992. Thomas’s Fulham opened in 2004. Joanna and David Thomas retired from the active management of the group in 1999. Thomas’s is now run by their sons Ben and Tobyn. In September 2021, Thomas’s opened its first senior school, Thomas’s Putney Vale, taking pupils up to the age of 16. There are currently 655 children aged from 4 to 13 on the roll at Thomas’s Clapham. Demand for places at the school is considerable with most children arriving in Reception. 13+ is the main exit point for our pupils where they head to a combination of London Day and Boarding schools. The school was recognised by Ofsted as Outstanding in each category in February 2018. A regulatory compliance inspection was completed at Thomas’s Clapham in January 2023.
