Hampton School
Nearest train station: Hampton
founded during the academic year 1556-1557, has built on the strengths of its grammar school ethos since independence in 1975 and remains a day school for boys with two main intakes at 11+ and 13+ as well as entry into the Sixth Form.
We have always had a strong academic tradition as our GCSE and A level results show. But statistics cannot adequately reflect the huge range of intellectual and extra-curricular activities undertaken by staff and pupils.
We are extremely fortunate to have fine teachers and support staff, who work tirelesly together to offer our boys the balanced, all round education to which we are committed. Please read our Inspection Report. This recognises outstanding success both academic and our wide-ranging co curricular areas: most significantly perhaps the inspectors rated our pastoral care as “excellent”. Our Governors ensure that our Development Plan provides the resources needed by a centre of excellence: we are now refining plans for a major project to celebrate the School's 450 th Anniversary in 2006-07. Details will soon be published.
Being a school just for boys means that we can concentrate on boys' interests and on building their confidence and self-esteem during the teenage years. We can design our teaching specifically to meet boys' learning needs and preferences, enabling the great and increasing majority of our leavers to join leading universities.
