From their earliest years through to the Sixth Form, Hamptonians are encouraged to aspire to personal best, embrace new opportunities, and develop into confident, compassionate and intellectually curious young people. Hampton and Hampton Pre-Prep & Prep combine academic excellence, outstanding pastoral care, and an all-round education that allows children to flourish. Our distinctive ethos encourages pupils to have fun at School and develop the character, agency and skills needed to thrive in later life.
Hamptonians are friendly, lively and unpretentious.
Our School is a community where success is based upon aspiring to personal best rather than the pursuit of narrowly-defined targets.
We welcome academically-minded boys from both maintained and independent schools, irrespective of ethnic group and background, and of their religious or non-religious beliefs.
We encourage every Hamptonian to develop their 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 also the development of a spirit of intellectual enquiry in a caring, stimulating and enjoyable environment.
We aspire to enable our pupils not only to make sense of the world, but also to want to improve it and make a difference for good.
Above all, we want Hamptonians to be open-minded, tolerant and full of conviction, to have a clear sense of right and wrong, and to aim for personal best while supporting those around them with kindness and respect.

Hampton Pre-Prep & Prep School is a friendly, lively and unpretentious school for girls aged 3 to 7 and boys aged 3 to 11.
Our core function is to provide an excellent all-round education. We want our pupils to make excellent progress that results in superb achievements whilst they are with us. We want them to transfer happily and successfully to their senior school.
We value effort as much as achievement; we work hard to promote and sustain the conditions where both can be celebrated. We rely on each other.
We welcome pupils of all cultures and backgrounds. We nurture a community where safety, respect and trust are paramount. We share in our triumphs and defeats and know how important it is to embrace both as learning opportunities. This enables our pupils to make sense of the world and know how to have a positive impact upon it.
