About Thomas's Clapham
Thomas's Clapham is one of the four schools of the Thomas's London Day Schools group — co-educational prep schools founded in 1971 by David and Joanna Thomas and now operating four central London campuses (Clapham, Battersea, Fulham, Kensington). The Clapham campus educates around 653 pupils ages 4-13. The Head is Helen Lowe. The school is a member of the IAPS and is inspected by the ISI. The Thomas's schools are particularly distinguished by their high-end professional London parent body and a strong feeder relationship to top London senior schools (Westminster, St Paul's, Eton, City of London, Wycombe Abbey). The school operates fee scholarships intended to provide access for academically able pupils. The Thomas's Battersea school became internationally famous when Prince George of Wales (eldest son of HRH The Prince of Wales) attended from 2017 to 2022.
