Hampton Court House in detail

Hampton Court House in its own words

In its own words: "Hampton Court House is an independent, co-educational day school for ages 2-18, offering an exceptional all-through education from The Little Courtiers in Early Years through Prep and Senior School to Sixth Form."

From the headteacher's welcome: "At Hampton Court House we believe in purposeful informality: a culture founded on respect, freedom, and ambition. From our youngest learners in the Little Courtiers Nursery to our Sixth Form students preparing for life beyond school, we encourage every child to discover who they are, to ask bold questions, and to make meaningful connections with the world around them."

Clubs and activities named on the school's website include football, netball, rugby, tennis, athletics, basketball, yoga, judo, ballet and choir.
