Thomas’s Clapham is a co-educational school for pupils aged 4–13, filled with energy, ambition, and joy. We are proud to provide an education that is both academically rigorous and richly creative, supporting children to grow as confident learners before they move on at 11+ or 13+.
Our classrooms are places of high expectations, where pupils are challenged to think deeply, question often, and apply their knowledge to the world they live in. We believe that learning is a consequence of thinking, and we are committed to cultivating a culture where children are safe, calm, kind, and ready to engage fully with their world.
Alongside this academic focus, our community is grounded in kindness and creativity. We celebrate every child’s achievements and support their growth; academically, socially, physically, emotionally, and spiritually so that they leave us with strong foundations and a love of learning that will carry into every stage of their life.
At Thomas’s Clapham, we set ambitious academic standards and provide a broad curriculum that enables every child to flourish. Our aim is not only that pupils achieve highly, but that they learn how to think critically, act with independence, and take joy in the pursuit of learning.
What makes this possible are the relationships at the heart of our school. Our expert teaching teams know every child as an individual, ensuring that learning is challenging, inspiring, and enjoyable. We want our pupils to leave us not only with excellent academic foundations, but also with the confidence to approach new challenges thoughtfully and creatively.
Equally, we are a values-led community. By embracing the joy of childhood, the excitement of discovery, and the responsibility to be safe, calm, kind, and ready, we ensure that children’s time at Thomas’s Clapham is both purposeful and happy.
It is a privilege to lead this remarkable school, and I look forward to welcoming you and your family to experience it for yourselves.
Each year, Thomas’s Clapham pupils move on to some of the UK’s top senior schools, often with scholarships and awards across academic, artistic, and sporting fields. Our 11+ Offers and our 13+ Leavers’ Destinations reports show a wide variety of schools and opportunities secured by our Year 6 and Year 8 pupils, reflecting the breadth of talent nurtured at our school.
