Hampton

We are a lively, friendly and caring School community, in which innovative teaching is underpinned by strong shared values and complemented by outstanding pastoral care. We aspire to enable our boys not only to make sense of the world but also to want to go out and improve it. Hamptonians are expected to aspire to personal best while supporting those around them with kindness and respect. The Schools examination results and university entrance record consistently rank among the best achieved anywhere. Nearly all Hampton leavers go on to undergraduate courses at Russell Group or equivalent universities. Around 20 Hamptonians are offered places at Oxford and Cambridge annually and a significant number move on to global top-10 universities; we also support pupils who wish to study at universities in North America, some of whom secure academic and/or sporting scholarships. Our alumni network is extremely strong and former pupils remain very committed indee d to their School, in no small part due to the exceptionally warm and mutually respectful relationships enjoyed between Hampton staff and pupils. Situated on a green field site in a leafy suburb of South West London, we are fortunate to have over 27 acres of playing fields within our spacious grounds and a generous investment programme ensures that pupils and staff benefit from first-class facilities across all areas of School life. These include a state-of-the-art 3G sportsground, a large Sports Hall and The Hammond Theatre, along with an excellent library and specialist facilities for Art, Music, Science, Technology, IT and Languages, and a superb Sixth Form Study and Careers Centre. The Millennium Boat House, shared with our neighbouring girls school, Lady Eleanor Holles, enjoys a prime location on the nearby River Thames and provides the focal point for our renowned Boat Club. The School was judged to be excellent (the highest possible recognition) across all categories by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) in May 2023. Inspectors found that Hamptonians achievements are exceptional across academic and co-curricular areas of School life and concluded that outstanding analytical and thinking skills lead to academic achievements far and above national and worldwide averages. The ISI team also highlighted Hamptonians excellent personal development and concluded that Pupils are open-minded and tolerant and have a clear sense of justice, successfully fulfilling the schools aims for them to make sense of the world, to want to make a difference for good, and to aspire to personal best while supporting those around them with kindness and respect.
