Sport & PE

Sport & PE

  • Sport
  • Physical Education

Sport is a major part of both curricular and co-curricular life at Hampton and plays an essential role in the physical, emotional and social development of every boy in the School. We are justifiably proud of the facilities, support, expertise and talent provided by the Sport and PE Department.

Boys in the First to Fourth Years have a double period of Games each week; the Fifth Year, Lower Sixth and Upper Sixth share a triple period each Wednesday afternoon.

Unlike at many other schools, Hampton pupils can choose their preferred sport and have a wide choice.

We compete in prestigious local, regional and national competitions as well as holding regular fixtures with schools from across the region. It is expected that boys treat themselves, their opponents and all officials with proper respect and courtesy and they are encouraged to play with a sense of adventure and freedom without self-indulgence. We do not encourage percentage-driven sport, but sport with a sense of fun in the right measure. By the same token we understand and respect that some boys will play sport for leisure or health reasons rather than competitively.

Activities

Hampton provides competitive team sport in the following major games throughout the School:

  • Football
  • Rugby
  • Rowing
  • Cricket
  • Tennis
  • Athletics

We also offer the following specialist sports that enjoy considerable success in the competitive arena.

  • Golf
  • Basketball
  • Swimming
  • Squash
  • Cross-Country Running
  • Table Tennis
  • Volleyball
  • Windsurfing
  • Sailing

Staff

Each major sport has its own Master-In-Charge. The staffing of Games at Hampton is generous. Currently, we are able to offer an average staff/pupil ratio of 1:12. In addition to the PE Staff many of the academic staff are talented sports people and they offer additional teaching and support on the sports field. We are also fortunate to have regular visits from outside expert performers and specialist coaches.

Facilities

Hampton makes full use of its Sports Fields, North Gym, all-weather 3G sports pitch, Sports Hall, cricket nets and Millennium Boat House to the benefit of the whole School community.

The Physical Education Department is made up of seven full-time PE specialists. We place a strong emphasis on the link between participation in physical activity and improved mental wellbeing and we encourage participation and development for all pupils, regardless of ability. To achieve this, we endeavour to offer a wide and diverse range of activities, to suit all interests and abilities, with the hope that we engage every pupil to participate in physical activity throughout their time at Hampton and into adulthood.

First Year classes have two 40-minute periods of PE a week, taught as a double lesson, whilst Second, Third and Fourth Year classes have one 40 minute period. Lessons are taught mainly in the Sports Hall but also in the Fitness Suite, North Gym, Hard Courts, all-weather 3G sports pitch and on our Sports Fields. Pupils are likely to take part in the following activities during their PE lessons in First to Fourth Year:

  • Athletics
  • Ball skills
  • Basketball
  • Badminton
  • Boxercise
  • Circuits
  • Crossfit
  • Dodgeball
