We intend for Thomas’s Academy to be at the forefront of developing an educational provision, fit for the 21st century.

Our approach is based on Four Cornerstones which are embedded in our school.

Be Kind

Thomas’s Academy is guided by the values that underpin the approach at all of the Thomas’s Schools.

These values: KINDNESS, COURTESY, HONESTY, RESPECT, INDEPENDENCE, CONFIDENCE, LEADERSHIP and HUMILITY are developed further through the ‘Inspiring Living’ curriculum at the Academy.

Learn to Learn

At Thomas’s Academy, we place great emphasis on the development of children’s learning.

We focus on the five Learning Attitudes: BE REFLECTIVE, BE INQUISITIVE, BE CREATIVE, BE COLLABORATIVE & BE POSITIVE (RESILIENT) to enable children to understand how they can improve themselves as learners.

Grow Together

Our curriculum and ethos embrace global mindedness, celebrates diversity and supports every child’s journey to success. At Thomas’s Academy, we strive to inspire positive change and growth and truly develop a sense of safety and belonging for all in our community.

Create Beauty

Thomas’s Academy encourages all children to focus over extended periods of time to produce work of real beauty and depth.

We help children develop the persistence and resilience required to produce exceptional outcomes, and we provide time for children to refine their work, with a particular focus on children working collaboratively to critique and improve their work together. Whether in the classroom, in a Sports lesson, in the Art Studio or in their Music Room, creating beautiful work is an expectation at Thomas’s Academy.
