Thomas’s College is a co-ed, day and weekly boarding school for 630 children aged 11-19 in a beautiful 5-acre campus in SW London opening in September 2025. The admissions cycle is well underway and interest in our radical, innovative and academically excellent School has far exceeded our expectations. Our Founding Scholarships Programme will offer 100 free places to exceptional candidates joining us in 2025, kickstarting our bursary programme and embedding philanthropy in the DNA of the College from its inception.
I am delighted you are considering Thomas’s College. You will be at the forefront of our innovative and ground-breaking education. We offer an innovative and radical approach to what matters most - education, happiness and future success. For over 50 years Thomas’s schools have been built on three pillars: breadth of experience, academic excellence and mutual kindness. Thomas’s College shares these foundational principles and provides an outstanding education allowing young people to secure the traditional qualifications they need for world-class outcomes.
However, as a brand-new school, the College provides an education built for the future. Our radical innovations place students at the centre of their own learning. The best teaching methods, new forms of assessment alongside the most respected qualifications, and inventive principles such as our unique three-year Sixth Form, unlock a diversity of excellence that allows every individual to thrive on their own terms.
Outstanding teaching in small classes, remarkable co-curricular opportunities in art, music, drama, sport and much more, and a pastoral system that provides the highest standards of care - these are all a given. On top of that we offer a family atmosphere, full of heart, and the passion and drive of an entrepreneurial start-up environment - one that is backed by the Thomas’s history and heritage. It is a combination that we believe will bring our students benefits, in terms of their success, happiness and values, that will last lifelong.
We are working with IID Architects, Bidwells and Quinn to deliver the campus renovation. IID bring extensive experience in the education sector. Work is well underway on the refurbishment of the main listed building and Red House. The main building will be home to the boarding house on the top floor, with gym, dance studio and music practice rooms on the lower ground floor. A stunning library and recital hall on the ground floor are at the heart of the school, alongside the dining room and Learning Enrichment department. The rest of the main building is home to beautiful classrooms, whose design is underpinned by biophilic principles - bringing a sense of nature and tranquillity to learning, from the colour palette to the views of the wooded campus. The other star feature of the main building is our Gallery, a double height space for artists to make and show their work.
The Red House is a Victorian Arts & Crafts building situated at the centre of the campus and will be our Sixth Form Centre. The Cyril Taylor Library will house 9 science spaces as well as a basement drama studio and performance and assembly hall. At the edge of the campus, Longley House will be home to our Design & Technology Department.
