“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character–that is the goal of true education.”

Martin Luther King

At Thames Christian School we aim for pupils to understand their innate value, both as an individual and as a member of the community, so that they become well rounded and compassionate young people, who embrace good character, personal responsibility and academic excellence.

We intend for our pupils to become wise leaders who nurture their skills and talents in preparation for life beyond school.

We are delighted that Thames was judged Excellent in all categories by the Independent Schools Inspectorate in its Educational Quality Inspection in April 2022.
