Dr Sarah Hendry: Deputy Head, Academic
My career progression has been really quick after starting in 2019 as a newly qualified Physics teacher. I’m now joint Head of First Year and on the co-curricular side of things, I’m running a football team and I’m involved with the Duke of Edinburgh scheme and the Adventure Society and going on loads of different trips.
Mr Daan Fuldner: Teacher of Physics
I worked in management consulting and investment banking for about 14 years and it was a great career but I wanted something more. Working with young people is just terrific. This is an amazing school and becoming a teacher at Hampton has fulfilled all my expectations.
Mr David Schofield: Head of Chemistry
There was a ‘Wow!’ factor when I walked into Hampton. People always think only teachers work in school but there are many staff here from a range of professions and there are opportunities at all levels. It has been a wonderful place to work with very supportive people and I am delighted that I joined Hampton.
