Science Technician

Thomas’s Clapham is a dynamic and welcoming school where curiosity, creativity and kindness sit at the heart of everything we do. Set between Wandsworth and Clapham Commons, our school is alive with energy, a place where pupils are encouraged to think independently, work collaboratively and approach each day with purpose and joy.

We are proud to be part of the Thomas’s family of schools, educating 644 pupils aged 4 to 13. Our approach is outward-looking and values-driven, balancing academic rigour with imagination, character and compassion. Teaching is ambitious and responsive, designed to stretch and support every pupil. Professional development is a central priority, and our recognition as an Apple Distinguished School reflects our ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation in teaching and learning.

Our facilities are exceptional, blending the heritage of our historic site with contemporary spaces that inspire and delight. Light-filled classrooms, specialist teaching areas and beautifully designed outdoor environments create a setting where pupils and teachers alike can thrive. We are particularly fortunate to have extensive on-site grounds, a rare privilege in London, where pupils spill outdoors for play, exploration and sport, making the most of every opportunity to learn actively and collaboratively.
