About this role
Thomas’s Kensington is a vibrant, forward-thinking school where curiosity, creativity and compassion shape everything we do. Our community is alive with energy and ambition, and pupils are encouraged to think boldly, work collaboratively and approach learning with joy and purpose.
We educate around 400 pupils aged 4–11 and are proud to be part of the Thomas’s family of schools. Our provision is outward-looking and values-led, giving equal weight to knowledge, skills, character and metacognition. Academic standards are exceptionally high, and imaginative, innovative teaching both stretches and supports every child. Professional development is central to our culture, and our status as an Apple Distinguished School reflects our commitment to excellence and innovation.
This is an exciting moment in the school’s history. In November 2025 we moved to our new home on St Alban’s Grove, a state-of-the-art campus with light-filled classrooms, specialist teaching spaces and beautifully designed outdoor areas. Our pupils also benefit from outstanding sporting provision at Dukes Meadows, shared with Thomas’s College, where major investment has created first-class facilities.
