The Quality First Education Trust is delighted to announce that Thomas’s Academy has now joined our Trust.

Thomas’s Academy is a one-form entry community school in Fulham, within easy reach of Parsons Green Tube Station. It retained its ‘Good’ rating (Ofsted) in September 2023 in an ungraded inspection. For the last ten years, it has been a single academy trust supported by Thomas’s London Day Schools (TDLS), and the school is grateful to TDLS for all their expertise and support of the school over that time.

John Grove, CEO of the Q1E Trust said “We believe in primary schools improving primary schools and in learning from the best, whether locally, nationally or internationally. We share the knowledge that we have, and we listen to the families that we serve. We are looking forward to supporting Suzanne and her team to provide an excellent education for all children.”

Suzanne Kelly, Headteacher of Thomas’s Academy said “We have believed for some time that a partnership with the right MAT will enable us to provide wide-ranging support for our teachers, to strengthen our school’s ethos and culture, and ensure that we continue to offer the high-quality education which we expect for all our pupils. We look forward to working with the Q1E team to enrich our curriculum further and provide greater access to professional development for our staff.”

The aims and values of Thomas’s Academy and the Q1E Trust are closely aligned, and we are all excited to see what this collaboration will bring.
