Hampton High

There is something special about seeing young people cheer just as loudly for a teammate's success as they do for their own.
This week, 61 pupils represented Hampton High at the borough athletics championships. While there were some fantastic performances throughout the day, what stood out most was the way our pupils supported one another across year groups, encouraged those around them, and embraced the opportunity to represent their school.
As Ms Southgate, Head of PE reflected:
"It was fun to see them cheering on one another and wanting to represent our school, with some pupils trying out a new athletics event that they hadn't done before. We are proud of all our pupils who competed and loved seeing their athletics talent, smiles, collaboration, resilience and support throughout the day."
Zulu in Year 10 captured the spirit of the day beautifully:
"I am proud of myself for getting a bronze medal. The day was good. I was a bit nervous before my race but I got myself in the zone and tried my best."
Perhaps that is what these days are really about. Not just medals or results, but young people finding the confidence to step forward, support one another, and discover what they are capable of.
We are incredibly proud of all 61 pupils who represented Hampton High so positively.
A special thank you to Ms Southgate and the PE team. Without their time, energy, and commitment, opportunities like these simply would not be possible.

One of the joys of starting a new season is discovering just how much talent has been waiting to surface.
At our first cricket session of the summer, both Mr Azzouz and Mr Moulds both commented on the impressive standard and ability on display from our boys.
There was some excellent batting, bowling, and fielding throughout, alongside plenty of enthusiasm for the game. What was particularly encouraging was seeing pupils embrace the opportunity with such positivity and commitment.
Thank you to all the pupils who attended. We are incredibly proud of the skill, attitude, and sportsmanship they showed, and we look forward to seeing them continue to develop over the coming weeks.

What does two decades of quiet dedication add up to?
Last week, Mr Crossan had the honour of attending the 70th Anniversary The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Garden Party at Buckingham Palace — a special moment to reflect on the impact of an award that continues to shape so many young lives.
Hearing Prince Edward, alongside speakers including Alex Jones, Larry Lamb, Jake Humphrey and Hugh Bonneville, speak about the resilience and commitment behind completing a DofE Award prompted a humbling thought:
“If my maths is right, over 800 students have taken part in the award since I’ve been at Hampton…”
Over 800 young people given the opportunity to discover confidence, independence and lifelong friendships — and perhaps passions they never knew they had.
For more than two decades, Mr Crossan has been at the heart of Hampton High, always leading with care, patience and genuine humanity. From PE teacher, to Head of PE, to Head of Year, he has quietly championed the belief that when young people feel supported and connected, curiosity and growth naturally follow.
The Duke of Edinburgh Award remains an exceptional opportunity for students to challenge themselves, build resilience and discover what drives them. At Hampton High, we are proud that our programme is run in-house by our fully trained DofE Coordinator, Mr C, and heavily subsidised so every student has the chance to take part.
Perhaps the real legacy of programmes like DofE is not measured in awards at all — but in the confidence, friendships and sense of possibility that stay with young people long after the expeditions end.
