Year 3 

• Miss Hill
  Head 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.

• Miss Williamson
  Assistant Head
  Miss Williamson

  I am Miss Williamson and I am proud to be the Assistant Head at Thomas Coram. I am passionate about my various responsibilities which include Safeguarding, English and Mental Health and Wellbeing. I have previously taught across Key Stages 1 and 2; I love my time teaching in the classroom and pride myself on knowing every child in our school. Out of work, I enjoy time exploring the local countryside with my dog, going to the theatre and art galleries and travelling to places near and far. I look forward to welcoming you into the Thomas Coram family.

• Mrs Thomson
  SENCO
  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.

Our virtual visit page contains a link to a virtual tour where you can wander around and explore our school. 

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!
