HCH Middle Years

Theatre and drama has always been a big part of school life at Hampton Court House, these pictures from March 2002 were from one of our first ever productions! #ThrowbackThursday

After 20 years at Hampton Court House we are very sad to say goodbye to our headmaster, Guy Holloway. Thank you for building a fabulous school community, all of our families, staff and students will miss you dearly!

Players from across the school came together during Friday lunch time for the annual staff vs students chess match. For many of the student competitors the match was the culmination of weeks of practice as part of their weekly chess club. #Chess #FridayMotivation

Year 5 relished making bath bombs. We also had the privilege of hosting @ClairePetros from the @ORP_INDIANOCEAN, the lead veterinarian of the charity, who discussed her work conserving sea turtles in The Maldives with very enthusiastic and inquisitive audiences from Years 3 - 5.

The weather may be hot outside, but the HCH Senior Leadership Team and our incoming Head, Dr Adrian Rainbow have been hard at work at the senior leadership away day. #ThursdayMotivation

Welcome back to all of our students. The school always looks so beautiful in the sun!

The beautiful HCH grounds in the morning sun was the perfect backdrop for the middle and upper years assembly. Inconming headmaster, Adrian Rainbow raised the energy levels for the start of the school day by leading the students in the ‘Rainbow Haka’.

Hampton Court House School is always a very special and magical place, summer in particular is a time when students feel close to nature and the natural beauty of the school’s surroundings really stands out. We look forward to seeing you all back on Monday the 7th of June.

Hampton Court House students and staff came together to celebrate our annual Francophone Day before the half-term break. #HCHschool hamptoncourthouse.co.uk/francophonie-d…

Year 6 and Year 7 have enjoyed their week long ‘bikeability’ course in the grounds of the school and on the local roads. Bikeability is the Department for Transport's national cycle training scheme for children across England. #fridaymorning

So lovely to see the school in the glorious sunshine, despite the intermittent rain! We are really looking forward to the coming weeks as the weather warms up and everyone makes the most of our beautiful grounds. #ukweather hamptoncourthouse.co.uk/school/buildin…

One of the best things about Hampton Court House is the wonderful grounds and how lucky we are to be so close to nature. Here is one of neighbours as seen from the classroom window! #closetonature #NaturePhotography #HamptonCourtHouseSchool

Year 8 have been exploring the process of creating and bringing mobile apps to life. Using their programming knowledge and concepts they designed and coded their own mobile apps. Well done Year 8! #coding bit.ly/3bOR8ck bit.ly/2RyCXBr bit.ly/2Tf2m3t

Students from Year 7 to Year 11 had a wonderful day learning a range of survival skills on the HCH School grounds. Trained instructors arranged some very interesting skills for survival in the wild which all of our students thoroughly enjoyed. hamptoncourthouse.co.uk/middle-and-upp…
