Welcome to St Thomas’ CE Primary School

We are very pleased to welcome you to our school. St Thomas’ is a small one form entry Church of England primary school.  We are located in North Kensington just off the Portobello Road.  We serve a wonderfully diverse community.  In January 2009 we moved into our brand new school building, which we are very proud of.

At St Thomas’ we believe that a high quality education within a Christian environment is the best start a child can have in their school life. We understand that children need a secure value system as they grow up. We work in partnership with parents and the Church to build a sense of community and respect for others. Our children are encouraged to be friendly and considerate to one another, to always do their best and achieve the highest standards in their learning.
