It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Thames View Primary School. It is a privilege to be the Principal at such a fabulous, caring school which is a strong part of the community. 

Thames View has a wonderful cohort of children, an excellent staff team and fantastic school grounds. We are a two-form entry school, and with our Nursery, educate 480 children in a friendly and caring environment.

We truly believe in offering children a wide range of opportunities as part of their broad and balanced curriculum, including opportunities to take part in competitive sporting events and theatre shows as part of our drama offer. We offer an extensive programme of educational visits, with every year group going on at least two educational visits per year to support their learning in the curriculum, as well as a number of fun learning days in school which involve visiting speakers and our author in residence.

We have a strong reading for pleasure culture throughout the school, with our four houses named after famous authors; Rowling, Walliams, Dahl and Donaldson and our whole school learning environments are themed in the books of these authors, so the children are immersed in a true culture of a love of reading. We love reading and every classroom has a great reading corner, full of interesting books.

We motivate and engage children by delivering a rich and broad curriculum that inspires our pupils to become life-long and responsible learners. 

We are respectful, kind and caring, and enjoy working with the parents/carers and often invite them to join our whole school/class events. We have an active PTA who work hard to raise money for additional items. Raising money for charities is also high on our agenda. We have a Charity Day every year, organised by pupils in KS2, take part in Children in Need, raise money for the NSPCC and donates to local food banks.

If you would like to visit us at Thames View, please e-mail the school office - we look forward to meeting you!
