Schools in Hampton
Hampton's 11 schools are coordinated by the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, with 6 primaries and 1 secondary — Hampton Academy — serving this affluent Thames-side suburb. Richmond uses straight-line distance as the tiebreaker at community schools, and the borough's high demand for school places means catchment radii at popular primaries are among the tightest in outer London. Eight of Hampton's 11 schools have a faith designation.
Hampton Academy is the main state secondary for Hampton and Hampton Hill, operating as an academy with independent admissions criteria. Richmond's strong state secondary options — including Lady Eleanor Holles (independent) and Hampton School (independent boys) nearby — mean a proportion of families opt into the independent sector, which marginally eases demand at the academy. State secondary allocation from Hampton flows partly into Teddington School and Richmond Park Academy as well.
Hampton Hill Junior and Hampton Junior School serve distinct geographic areas; families on the Hampton Hill side of the town should check which junior school their infant school feeds into. All six primaries in the area are popular, and Richmond's annual statistics show offer distances well within a kilometre at the most sought-after schools.
