Curriculum
Reflecting the school’s history, the curriculum combines traditional academic excellence with ambitious innovation. It adopts a four-dimensional approach, enabling pupils to apply knowledge, skills, character and metacognition on a daily basis. Knowledge is relevant, contemporary and engaging; skills span scholastic and societal development; and character is rooted in strong values. Metacognition is developed through dynamic teaching that encourages reflection, adaptability and an understanding of how pupils learn.
Sport & The Arts
The broad curriculum nurtures children’s development in sport, visual art and the performing arts, alongside a strong range of cocurricular subjects including music, drama and dance.
Pastoral Care
Wellbeing sits at the heart of life at Thomas’s Battersea. It is the responsibility of every member of staff, all of whom are committed to ensuring every child feels safe, valued and supported. Robust structures are in place to ensure no pupil’s needs are overlooked. The deputy head of safeguarding and wellbeing works closely with the heads of school, form teachers and learning assistants to monitor and support pupils so every child feels a strong sense of belonging.
Exit Destinations
Pupils progress to top UK schools at 11+ and 13+, with more than 25 scholarships awarded last year.
Head’s Philosophy
To help every pupil flourish as a compassionate contributor to society and a courageous shaper of the future. To realise this, we champion kindness, community and childhood, a breadth of experience and academic success.
