Alice Thomas - Co Principal SMSJ
Alice joined SMSJ in 2018 as part of the Senior Leadership Team and was appointed Co-Principal alongside Hannah Mason in 2023. Since arriving, she has been proud to contribute to whole school improvement and to support students and staff across the secondary phase.
Before entering education, Alice worked in conservation and media, having studied at the University of Cardiff and the University of Sussex, and later completing an MSc in Conservation Biology at UCL. Prior to joining SMSJ, Alice taught Science and held pastoral responsibilities, including as a Head of Year, in schools across North London. These experiences underpin her commitment to inclusive, high quality education and strong academic standards.
As we continue to build on SMSJ’s success, Alice is excited to work alongside staff and students to create a culture of high achievement, personal development and opportunity for all. Alice is also looking forward to collaborating with colleagues across the Trust to drive progress, strengthen professional practice and create the best possible outcomes for all students.
