Newcastle-under-Lyme Preparatory School has welcomed Mrs Kathryn Thomson as their new Headteacher and she has her sights set on taking the school from strength to strength.
Mrs Thomson arrives at NULS’ Prep School following a series of high profile appointments at prestigious schools across the country including Shropshire-based Moreton Hall and Shrewsbury High School, where she was Deputy Head of Academic and Pastoral and the renowned Wimbledon High School, where her innovative work deserved much praise.

We take this approach right across school, teaching Design Technology and Coding in our labs with our little ones, Science in our Science block, Dance in our Dance Studio and so on. Our aim is simple; to give our pupils a very special experience with unique opportunities which enables them to flourish in small classes where they can be nurtured and supported.”
As the School finds itself an increasingly popular choice, from September 2022 new classes will be opening to enable more pupils to receive the highest standards within the classroom both academically and pastorally.
Kathryn said: “My favourite thing about NULS Prep is the strength of the community and how all staff, pupils and parents come together and work with each other knowing that the pupils’ experience and their time at school is the most important thing. We know this as there are parents who came to this school and are now sending their children to this school. There is a real family feel.”
