Thomas’s offers young people gap year opportunities at the schools. These are for one term each and are paid at a competitive rate. Each school employs between two and five ‘gappies’ per term which amounts to around fifty employment opportunities across Thomas’s in one academic year. Preference is given to applicants who were themselves pupils at Thomas’s. Please note that the schools generally invite applications for the three terms of the forthcoming school year in the Michaelmas Term of the preceding year. Please email us to find out whether vacancies are available: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] or [email protected].
Thomas’s is keen to support teachers in training and, to this end, host placements for students starting out in the profession. Primary BEd students are generally welcomed from Roehampton University and St Mary’s University, Twickenham. PGCE students can undergo training through our partnership with the National School of Education and Teaching.
Each Thomas’s School can very occasionally accommodate a young person on a one day’s work experience placement. Opportunities, for organisational reasons, are very limited and only open to former pupils. For more information please contact the School Office at the school where you were a pupil.

Thomas's London Day Schools are committed to safeguarding the welfare of children and young people, and expect all staff to share this commitment and work in accordance with our child protection policies and procedures. All posts are subjected to an enhanced DBS check.
Members of staff at Thomas’s work extremely hard as members of inspirational, supportive and enthusiastic teams. And be it a warm unicorn coat for playground duty, morning coffee or fresh fruit at break times, Thomas’s knows that small, thoughtful touches make a difference and teachers and members of the support teams feel so well cared for.
Members of staff across Thomas's collaborate frequently with one another, exchange ideas for best practice, develop knowledge and skills and devise new ways of teaching. More experienced teachers mentor the newer members of their teams and everyone learns from each other.
The Thomas’s People Strategy has been designed to promote a culture that reflects Thomas’s values, to develop a stimulating and motivational working environment for staff and to support the achievement of the Group’s aims and vision.
Thomas’s London Day Schools are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. All members of staff have a responsibility and duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of pupils. They must be aware of the systems within the school which support safeguarding and must act in accordance with the school’s Safeguarding & Child Protection Policy and Code of Conduct at all times. Members of staff receive appropriate child protection training, which is regularly updated.
Most importantly, Thomas’s encourages everyone in our community, pupils, parents and teachers, to be kind. Wellbeing is at the heart of everything that we do. Without it, we cannot successfully encourage children to grow physically and emotionally. Thomas’s always reminds us, as employees, how important we are to them and why we are all part of the Thomas’s family.
At the heart of staff support is continuing professional development. Whether that is our ongoing in-house training relating to school development priorities, supporting a teacher to undertake a Master’s degree or another postgraduate qualification, offering further training to support staff, encouraging the establishment of a new idea in school or providing mentoring and support for newly qualified teachers; the journey towards excellence is paramount. Thomas’s want their staff to be as successful and fulfilled as they possibly can be. We offer various CPD routes through our partnership with the National School of Education and Teaching and staff have also received their MAs though the University of Roehampton and the University of Buckingham. We offer a Graduate Recruitment Scheme through T3 - Thomas's Teacher Training and teaching assistants can pursue the QTS route into teaching if they wish.
