Mrs EdisYear 3 teacher
Mrs Edis
I'm Mrs Edis and a Year 3 teacher at Thomas Coram. I used to teach at Victoria School, so some of you may recognise me from there. Â When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time with my family, often found at a park or a soft play! I enjoy reading and running in my spare time. I love teaching English and seeing what wonderful readers and writers you can become, all from the power of a great imagination. My favourite author to read is Roald Dahl and I love his book, 'The Twits'. I'm really excited to work with you soon. -

Miss Williamson
I am Miss Williamson. I have been at Thomas Coram for quite a while now because it is a very caring place and I look forward to coming to school every day. I love helping children to learn but I particularly enjoy teaching English and French. I will do my best to make your learning exciting and enjoyable and, most importantly, that you feel happy and cared for. In my life outside school, I enjoy walking my dog Lottie in the countryside close to my home, spending time in my garden and visiting interesting places here and around the world.. I have many travel stories to share with you! I am very much looking forward to getting to know you; we have lots to look forward to together!

Mrs Knight
I am Mrs Knight, a Year 3 teacher at Thomas Coram. I have been teaching since 2015 and previously taught at a school in Watford. Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my family and travelling. I have a son called Harry and a dog called Stanley. English is my favourite subject to teach, particularly reading. It develops and improves children’s vocabulary, as well as supporting confidence in writing. I am very excited and looking forward to getting to know you and having fun learning together!

Miss HillHead of School
Miss Hill
My name is Miss Hill and I am Head of School at Thomas Coram. I am so excited to get to know all the children in Year 3 and hear about what they enjoy here at TC once they have settled in. I know they may feel nervous at first, but we are a welcoming family who will make everyone feel settled and happy. I have a real passion for outdoor learning and love gardening when I am at home. We are fortunate at TC to have such incredible grounds and I am looking forward to the children using them more this year. I also enjoy spending time with my cat, Niko. I look forward to meeting you all in September.

Mrs ThomsonSENCO
Mrs Thomson
I am Mrs Thomson and I have been a teacher here at Thomas Coram for 20 years. I have even taught the children of some of my earliest pupils! I have recently taken on the role of SENCo after teaching mostly Year 6 which is a very exciting challenge and one that I am really looking forward to. I have lots of experience in this area as I have a daughter with additional needs (and a son who doesn't but is still hard work!) and have taught children with all sorts of needs during my time here. In my free time I play netball, visit theme parks and I love to explore new places. I look forward to continuing to work alongside lots of our families, as well as meeting lots of new ones too.

Story time!
It'd be great if you knew a bit about Thomas Coram - who he was, what he achieved and why our school is named after him - before you even start with us! Below you can listen to a story about Captain Thomas Coram and the Foundling Hospital.
Are you feeling artistic? Artist Nick Sharratt shows you how to draw a foundling girl in her uniform. We'd be really impressed if you arrived in September with your own foundling picture!
You can even listen to a musical written for children about Thomas Coram and the Foundling Hospital!
