Job description

Overview

From the outset, the mission was to create a school where high standards and humanity walk hand in hand, where curiosity is encouraged, creativity is celebrated, and kindness guides every interaction.

To work at Thomas’s is to join a community that believes education should be as ambitious as it is compassionate. Across every part of our organisation, in classrooms and playgrounds, offices and studios, kitchens and IT suites, our people work together with creativity, professionalism, and heart. Whether teaching, supporting, leading, or enabling others to thrive, every colleague plays a vital role in shaping the Thomas’s experience for our pupils and families.
