Our Headteacher

Suzanne Kelly has worked at Thomas’s Academy, formerly New King’s Primary School, for 18 years. It is Suzanne’s third school. She has experience teaching in all year groups and leading many subjects, including English and Maths.


Suzanne is proud to be part of the Thomas's Academy community, a community where children feel safe and are genuinely cared for. Seeing children flourish and thrive through the supportive approach at Thomas's is why Suzanne is committed to the school.

 

"The values of the school mirror my own. Being in an inclusive, caring environment is important to me as I believe every unique child has lots to offer. Supporting the next generation to reach their potential using evidence-based approaches to education will benefit everyone."
