Thames Christian School is an Independent coeducational secondary school with small classes, high expectations and a committed staff team. By fostering a strong connection between staff and students, our pupils develop the wisdom, confidence and resilience to become authentic leaders, able to rise above challenges. They learn to make good choices and understand that every choice has consequences. We go out of our way to recruit excellent teachers who are passionate about their subjects and whose warmth fosters enthusiasm in the pupils. High quality teaching and small classes enable the teachers to build a rapport with each individual, nurture their talents and inspire them to achieve. Many of our teachers are professionals in their field, bringing a unique edge to their teaching. This enhances the array of co-curricular opportunities. Our size enables pupils to have much greater participation than in a larger environment. As a result pupils excel in a wide range of subjects from the traditionally academic to the creative arts and technology. Over the past three years 38% of grades have been 9-7 and 86% 9-4. The academic success reflects their personal growth and means that pupils have no difficulty gaining places at their first choice of sixth form, often at top independent and grammar schools. Pupils participate in a rich programme of co-curricular activities, external events, competitions and local and international trips including an award winning annual trip to Tanzania, where they work alongside villagers in one of the poorest areas of the world to bring them clean water and health. Located a few minutes walk from Clapham Junction the school is accessible from a wide area of London and the surrounding counties. From September 2021 the school will be accommodated in a new purpose-built facility with a three stream entry and sixth form adjacent to Clapham Junction station.
