Hampton School is rated as one of the top independent schools in the country. In 2019, 79% of A levels were at A*-A and 91% of the grades at GCSE were at 9-7. Wide range of subjects on offer with science and maths being taught at GCSE level. Learn more about the school.
Sport is very strong, especially in rugby, football, cricket and rowing. Very high achieving music students and over 20 choirs and ensembles to choose from. A huge choice of extra-curricular activities, charity and community work at all age groups. Strong ties with Lady Eleanor Holles School (girls school next door) – sharing school buses, drama productions, CCF and many more activities and events.
The majority of boys join at 11+, 13+ or 16+. Entry is via competitive examination, references from the student’s current school and interview. Leavers head to top universities with 24 boys heading to Oxbridge in 2019.
About the school
Hampton is a friendly, lively and unpretentious school for boys.
The School is a community where success is based upon achievement rather than the pursuit of narrowly defined targets.
We welcome academically-minded pupils from both maintained and independent schools, irrespective of ethnic group and background, and of their religious or non-religious beliefs.
We encourage every boy to develop his full academic potential and to develop skills for life through the wide range of cultural, spiritual and sporting opportunities on offer.
We believe that education is not only about acquiring knowledge and skills but about developing a spirit of intellectual enquiry in a caring, stimulating and enjoyable environment.
We aspire to enable our boys not only to make sense of the world but also to want to go out and improve it.
Above all, our aim is for those leaving Hampton to be open-minded, tolerant and full of conviction, to have a clear sense of right and wrong, and to aim for personal success while supporting those around them.
