Athletics is one of the key summer sports at Hampton School. In the first three years all boys are introduced to the different athletic disciplines as part of the physical education curriculum. Boys are also free to choose athletics as one of their sports options in the summer term. The School has a great deal of success, both locally and nationally and has a competitive fixture programme.
