Uniform

Pupils and students at Thomas’s love our iconic blue and red uniform and its durability and practicality make it popular with parents as well. Wearing uniform is compulsory at Thomas’s but the children tell us that they are proud to wear it and enjoy the sense of identity and belonging it confers. 

Uniform and sports kit are available from our online supplier, Perry. Click here for their website.. Parents can arrange for their children to try on uniform at their showroom in Knightsbridge and use their intelligent online sizing service. The PTA also run secondhand uniform shops.

Parent Teacher Associations

Parent Teacher Associations

Each Thomas’s school has a lively and thriving Parent Teacher Association. The PTAs work in partnership with each school to ensure that the wider Thomas’s community is represented in decision-making and that parents are supported and encouraged to participate in school life. PTA Form Representatives provide an active but informal communication link between schools and families on non-academic matters, as well as encouraging parents to get together socially. 

Each PTA runs non-profit events to foster community spirit, to inform parents and simply for our children to enjoy. They organise lectures and courses for pupils and parents about issues likely to affect family life, as well as staging Christmas and summer events.  

I like my stripy bobble hat best but my cardigan is also my favourite! Reception pupil
