Hampton Court House is an award-winning independent co-educational day school for ages 2 – 18, educating children and young people from pre-nursery to Year 13.

As well as being a highly selective academic school, we strive to lay the foundation of a lifelong love of learning and it is important to us that children enjoy being here and look forward to coming to school.
