Welcome to Thomas's Academy
Thank you for your interest in Thomas's Academy. We are a friendly and supportive state primary school which serves our local community. Our children are happy and settled here. In 2023, we retained our Ofsted 'Good' rating and in September 2025, we became part of the Quality First Education Trust.
Deciding which school to send your child to is a very important decision. We welcome children from all parts of our local community and are ready and experienced to help your child settle in quickly, whether they join us in Nursery, Reception or in Years 1 to 6 where we may have places available.
Please contact the School Office if you have any questions about the application process – we are very happy to help.
School Tours
Attending a school tour is a great way to find out more about our school. We offer regular small group tours for parents and carers throughout the year. To find out more and to book your place, please visit our School Tours page.
Reception Admissions
Children start Reception in the academic year (September to August) that they have their 5th birthday. You should apply for a Reception place by mid-January of the year that your child starts in Reception in September.
Applications for Reception places for September 2026 (for children born between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022) should be made via the local authority of the borough in which you live, even if you are applying for a school that is not in that borough.
Applications through Hammersmith & Fulham Council opened on 1 September 2025 and will close on Thursday 15 January 2026. The national offer date for on-time Reception applications for September 2026 is Thursday 16 April 2026. Further details about the application process are available on their website.
If you missed the deadline for September 2025 and are interested in a place, you can still put in an application through Hammersmith & Fulham Council to be added to a waiting list. If you have any queries, you can contact the Council on school.admissions@lbhf.gov.uk or 020 8753 1085.
In-Year Admissions
You can make an application to apply for Thomas's Academy at any time, and there may be places available in the year group that you require. While applications are still made via the Local Authority, we are always very happy to help if you have any questions before applying or would like to come on a school tour. Please contact our School Office on info@academy.thomas-s.co.uk or on 020 7736 2318.
To apply via Hammersmith & Fulham Council for an in-year place, please visit their website.
Nursery Admissions
Nursery admissions are made directly to the school. To find out more or apply, please visit our Nursery Applications page.
Admissions Policy and Appeals
The Thomas's Academy Admissions Policy can be accessed here. If it has not been possible to offer your child a place, you have the right to appeal to an independent appeal panel. The timetable for this can be viewed on the borough website. Visit the Parents' Guide to Admission Appeals for step-by-step guidance on how to make an appeal.
