On 1 and 2 July 2025, Hampton School is holding our Giving Day for the Fitzwygram Foundation. Our goal is a simple but transformative one: to raise as much as we can to support the Foundation and its provision of means-tested Free Places at Hampton School.
Please support us as across 36 hours, the Hampton community will come together and make a difference. Through interform challenges, staff vs pupil events, exhibitions, performances, as well as many online challenges, everyone can take part and make their contribution to the Fitzwygram Foundation for Free Places. Help us to ensure that a Hampton education is accessible to all pupils.
