From the Thomas Gamuel Primary School
Part-time Nursery spaces are available at our vibrant, inclusive school starting at age 3. Regardless of race, colour, creed, or circumstance, we believe that all children and students have a right to a top-notch education in order to provide them the best opportunity for success in life. In common with other schools in the Lion Academy Trust we know that investing in well-qualified teachers and support staff, and forming excellent relationships with parents, is what results in happy pupils, who achieve well. Excellent resources are available in our daycare to make learning engaging and enjoyable. Two sizable playgrounds with climbing structures, a race track for bikes and scooters, a sand pit, a building zone, and many more learning spaces are available to kids. We welcome the opportunity to show you and your kid around the school. Nursery spaces are still available. At TG, every Thursday is open day, allowing potential parents to drop by at 10 or 2 without having to book an appointment. A senior leader will be on hand to give visitors a tour of the facility. Our weekly Stay and Play group for parents or carers and their babies or toddlers runs every Thursday, which is another way for families and children to get used to the school environment before starting in Nursery. You can also contact Maretha Cilliers by email by clicking here or by calling 020 8520 7031.
