Job description

Thomas’s College is a brand-new selective co-educational day and weekly boarding school for students from 11 to 18. Our school sits in a beautiful five-acre campus at the top of Richmond Hill, 15 minutes’ walk from Richmond Station, with magnificent buildings surrounding a central garden. We have outstanding sports facilities a short drive away, with Richmond Park on our doorstep. The whole site is full of space and greenery.

We seek to offer a new approach to London independent education, built around the choices and interests of each individual, that combines the best of traditional excellence with radical innovation. We teach psychology to all students, we offer alternative qualifications alongside GCSE and A Level, we’ve changed the student journey to include a three-year Sixth Form - we’re at the leading edge of educational reform.

Above all we offer a family atmosphere, full of heart, along with the passion and drive of an entrepreneurial start-up environment. It is a combination that we believe will bring our students benefits, in terms of their success, happiness and values, that will last lifelong. For staff, we hope that working at the College will be an experience they treasure throughout the course of their careers.
