The Experience

“When I first joined the Sixth Form at Hampton Court House, I was looking for more than just a place to study — I was looking for a place where I could grow. What I found was a community that not only values academic ambition, but also champions individuality, leadership, creativity and wellbeing.

One of the most powerful things about life here is how personal it is. Small class sizes mean we’re really known by our teachers. You’re not just another name on a register; your voice matters, your choices matter, and the support you get is tailored to you. Whether you’re aiming for university, straight into the world of work, a degree apprenticeship, or something more creative or entrepreneurial, there’s space here for your journey.

The Preparing for Life programme truly lives up to its name – it even won the National Talk Education Award for Innovation in Education in 2025, with judges praising it for preparing students to thrive beyond school. From leadership roles to strength training, 1:1 mentoring and coaching to mental health support, it’s about becoming a confident, capable young adult, not just passing exams. And yes, the results speak for themselves: last year, students went on to medical school, Russell Group universities, and top creative colleges, and we’ve even had students head to top institutions in the US.

What makes this Sixth Form so unique is the culture. You’ll call your teachers by their first names. You’ll have conversations that matter. You’ll be challenged and supported in equal measure. And you’ll leave not just with grades, but with values, resilience and a clear sense of who you are and what you stand for.

If you’re someone who wants to work hard, be heard, and shape the world around you — I couldn’t recommend it more”.
