We are not sure how many headmasters/headteachers there have been since the school opened in 1940. Also, it is not clear dates for each headship. Below is what we know/think the dates are. Those in black we are sure of, those in grey we are less sure. Strangely we know most about the first two as they kept headteachers' logbooks. We also know quite a bit about the last three, but little is known about those in between. More definite, preferably documentary evidence would be much appreciated. We believe the values expressed in the list below best sum up the spirit and ethos of the school and act as a set of guiding principles steering the school in the right direction. We aim to: Remain a fully comprehensive mixed 11-18 local school providing a broad and balanced curriculum Ensure high standards of work, behavior, dress, and achievement for all pupils Develop cheerful, hard-working, honest and well behaved, fit and healthy young adults Ensure a safe learning environment where all are valued Ensure equality of opportunity for all Produce people willing and able to play an active and positive role in a rapidly changing world Develop pupils' sense of respect for themselves and others Provide opportunities for pupils to develop their own spiritual and moral capacities Promote pupils' appreciation of their own and other cultures Encourage pupils to accept their responsibilities to themselves, the school, and the local and wider communities Continue to develop as an important part of the local community Develop continually as an organization committed to learning for pupils, staff, and the local community. At Highams Park School, students broadly follow the National Curriculum in Key Stage 3 (years 7, 8 & 9) and in Key Stage 4 (years 10 & 11). The National Curriculum fills almost all of the pupils’ time in Key Stage 3 and most of their time in Key Stage 4.We endeavor to retain a broad and balanced curriculum whose primary objective is to equip all students for further study and employment, this will be done with careful consideration and reference to the government’s policy and reforms. There are 25 taught one lesson in the normal timetabled week. Some children in Key Stage 4 have an extra taught lesson to accommodate their curriculum. View full school

Handsworth Grammar is part of the Grammar Schools in Birmingham, the King Edward VI Foundation, and the King Edward VI Academy Trust. We provide a stimulating and educationally successful environment for our pupils – accepting Boys from age 11 to 16 as well as Boys and Girls at the Sixth Form level. We were rated as Outstanding in every category in our latest Ofsted review and with excellent examination results demand places is high. The School educates students from all over Birmingham and beyond, with a significant proportion living within three miles of us, thereby helping to maintain a strong community aspect. This is the oldest surviving selective school in Birmingham, but at the same time, we are forward-looking. It could be said that HGS reaches for the future from the basis of solid foundations. The foundations manifest themselves in the emphasis given to the importance of work, self-discipline, behavior, and achievement. From that foundation, we can help our students face and meet the needs of this rapidly changing world, by seeking to embrace new technologies and recognizing the importance of links between education and the world of work. At HGS we understand that while academic qualifications are important, education must be broader than that alone. Through the ethos and activities of the School, we strive to have a positive impact upon the students’ spiritual, moral, social, cultural, and academic development and values. We seek to confirm the School as a center of excellence, retaining the traditional values of its foundation, while embracing the opportunities offered by the technological developments of the modern world and serving the locality and the wider Birmingham conurbation. We Aim To: Provide a balanced curriculum, serving the needs of each student. Challenge our students to give their best in all areas and support them in this endeavor. Develop self-respect, independence and initiative promote a climate of trust, openness, and cooperation. Develop a sense of community at the School and amongst those associated with the School. Enable our students to move confidently into the next phase of their education or the workplace. Education must be more than the classroom and collection qualifications. One way in which education is broadened is through the School’s extracurricular activities. An exact listing of the opportunities provided can never be given since some are seasonal and others come and go. At any one time, they range from the sporting and musical activities of the School to the Technology club and inter-firm quiz. Students are encouraged to fill the gaps they spot, although a friendly member of staff is needed to support the activity. The school puts on several concerts each year, helping to encourage the students to gain confidence in themselves by performing in front of an audience or working behind the scenes. Many students partake of instrumental tuition at the School, learning instruments ranging from the guitar to the trombone and from the piano to the Dhol. As a result, we can boast a big band, brass group, string quartet, guitar ensemble, and other groupings. Students are supported through tutorial and careers advice, directed private study, access to our Learning Hub and extensive ICT facilities, a variety of study trips and visits, high-quality help with higher education applications, work experience, and the opportunity to continue with or experience new sport and leisure activities. An active school council representing students’ views is well run by members of the sixth form. There are also many opportunities for extracurricular activities and taking on roles of responsibility within the school. Lessons have a dual focus on Learning Habits as well as learning the content of courses and topics. Learning habits are the routine ways in which we think when are faced with life’s experiences and challenges. As a school, we will focus upon building the 10 habits of Collaborating, Questioning, Listening, Noticing, Planning, Revising, Making Links, Resilience, Capitalising, and Distillation. We want our boys to know what to do when they don’t know what to do by referring to the habits of mind that they have acquired. Dual learning objectives, engaging starter activities, a balance between collaborative and independent learning, activities to assess understanding and progress, creative use of resources and ICT, feedback, and reflective activities will be common features of lessons at Handsworth Grammar School. Handsworth Grammar School aims to make a real and significant difference to the lives of every student that we educate. The extensive opportunities available are created by a School that has acknowledged excellence in a range of areas but which can balance the academic, pastoral, and extracurricular needs of the community with that of the individuals that form its student body. The School provides this purposeful environment with the support of staff who are talented and motivated to nurture the best from each student. View full school

Hampton Wick Infant and Nursery School is a small school where every child is cherished and expected to achieve the best that they can about their education and social development. We promote a rich curriculum with a strong emphasis on the arts and, as a forest school, we make excellent use of our outdoor learning resources, in particular, a large conservation area – The Wilderness – which is attached to the school. Positive partnerships across and beyond our school are a key feature: relationships are valued and seen as an essential part of each child’s development. Our school enjoys a long-standing tradition of reciprocal, positive, and purposeful links with parents, carers, staff, and governors. This is reflected in the quality of relationships with children. We have positive philosophies which we believe help the children learn well today and prepare them for their future lives. Children enter our Nursery classes in the September after their third birthday. There is a registration procedure for admission to our Nursery but it is not possible to guarantee each child a place. Names can be registered with the school after the child’s second birthday. We are a three-form entry school with 90 reception places. Children will join a Reception class in the academic year in which they become five. It is the responsibility of the child's parents/carers to ensure that registration forms are completed and returned to the school swiftly. Forms returned after the closing date will be processed as late applications. Schools are not informed by the Local Authority of the names or number of children in their catchment areas. If you feel that your child is not ready to start school in the September following their fourth birthday, you can either arrange for your child to attend part-time until they reach statutory school age, or defer the date your child is admitted to the school until later on in the Reception year. If your child’s entry is deferred, the school must hold your child’s place and not offer it to another child. The latest your child can start school is at the beginning of the summer term. If you wish to defer your child’s entry, you will need to confirm this with the primary school where your child has been offered a Reception place. You also need to confirm this with the early learning provider so that your child can continue to receive their free early learning entitlement. All Richmond maintained schools have a similar approach to meeting the needs of pupils with Special Educational Needs and disabilities and are supported by the Local Authority to ensure that all pupils, regardless of their specific needs, make the best possible progress in school. All schools are supported to be as inclusive as possible, with the needs of pupils with a Special Educational Need or Disability being met in a mainstream setting wherever possible, where families want this to happen. All schools with Reception children have undertaken a statutory ‘baseline screening’ with children. We have done the same for our Nursery children, trialing the screening a year before we are required to introduce this. For our Early Years Foundation Stage children and practitioners, this has been through the use of observations and everyday tasks in school from which data has been entered onto an IT-based program. This information is gathered and sent off (as required by law) so that a national picture of where children start in Reception can be ascertained. This data will provide teachers with a class-wide profile as well as information on each child. This will support teachers at forthcoming consultations in providing individual feedback but will also support staff in terms of looking to see where any possible gaps in provision may be which can then be addressed. Phonics Screening for Year 1 will continue. This will be the 4th year of testing. Phonics is high profile in schools and also with Ofsted. Again, staff will feedback to parents/carers from all classes about their child’s phonic development. Please remember to look under the ‘For Parents/Carers' tab on the school website, then Curriculum where you can access resources to support your child. From September 2015, schools in England are expected to develop their ways of assessing the progress of children against the revised National Curriculum. For us, this means Years 1 and 2. With the absence of levels, all schools are creating their systems and procedures, often individualized to each school. Our school is doing the same: we have explored options and come up with a system that tracks what children apply, know, and can do and plots this against a rising scale which then indicates whether a child is beginning, emerging, expected, or exceeding in terms of the National Standard, i.e. the curriculum expectations of their age. Again, staff will be able to talk with parents/carers at Consultations about how their child is performing in terms of the levels of understanding of the curriculum. Please bear in mind that children have only just started the Year 1 or Year 2 curriculum so please allow time for your child to make progress during the year! Please also bear in mind that we are just getting to grips with the system ourselves. View full school

We are a lively, friendly, and caring community, where innovative teaching is underpinned by strong shared values and complemented by outstanding pastoral care. We aspire to enable our boys not only to make sense of the world but also to want to go out and improve it. However, we are not all about hard work. Hampton provides a remarkable range of co-curricular activities and a full, balanced education with many opportunities to shine. We understand that choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions that parents and boys will make, so we encourage you to come and visit us, meet our pupils and staff and experience for yourselves all that the School has to offer. The majority of boys join at 11+, 13+ or 16+. Entry is via competitive examination, references from the candidate’s current school, and interview. Occasional places for entry at 12+ and 14+ may become available. Please contact the Admissions office if this is an option you are considering. Hampton has high academic standards and we are proud of our exam results at GCSE and A level. Boys need to be academically minded and hard-working however, we are also looking for boys who will contribute positively to School life whether in art, music, sport, or another aspect of our co-curricular program. Motivation, intellectual curiosity, and a willingness to join in and try new things are all key attributes of a Hampton boy. Scholarships are awarded to boys on merit and recognize talent and potential in a particular field. Academic, Art, Chess, Music, Performing Arts, and Sport Scholarships are available to boys joining the First Year at 11+ and the Third Year at 13+. Choral Scholarships are available for boys joining at 11+ and are awarded in conjunction with the Chapel Royal at Hampton Court Palace. Scholars are expected, and required, to make a very strong contribution to the academic, sporting, or creative life of the School throughout their time at Hampton. Teaching is organized in small groups, enabling pupils to build close partnerships with their Sixth Form subject tutors, ensuring their personal and academic development. The majority of boys continue their education through to Sixth Form at Hampton School. However, we do welcome several external applicants every year from both the State and Independent sectors. Sixth Formers are viewed as the School’s leaders, at the apex of everything: sport, music, drama, debating, and community service, to name but a few. They set the standards for the whole School in all they do and the opportunities this provides for leading younger pupils is a key difference between attending a school and going to a Sixth Form College. Our boys are encouraged to develop the qualities of leadership, initiative, and service to others. We believe this enables them to leave school with the confidence and skills to tackle the ever-increasing complexity of modern life. In common with the great majority of academically selective schools, we believe that A levels currently offer the best post-16 education model. We continuously keep abreast of developments, assessing and examining the educational and examination options available to Sixth Form Students, to ensure that Hampton retains its place at the forefront of academic learning. Located in a highly desirable corner of South West London, Hampton School is situated on a beautiful 28-acre greenfield site. A continuous development and investment program ensures that the School’s buildings and grounds are maintained to the highest standards ensuring our pupils enjoy the use of first-class facilities, including a state-of-the-art 3G all-weather sports ground, large multi-purpose sports hall, and a professional standard Performing Arts Theatre, The Hammond Theatre. Generous teaching resources enhance lessons and students have access to a fully-equipped library, and specialist facilities for Art, Science, Technology, and Languages. The School has outstanding ICT facilities and is proud to be one of the leaders in this field in the independent education sector. Students have access to networked computers throughout the School, including those in three dedicated IT Suites, two Design Technology workshops, and three Science Labs, allowing the boys to access their work anywhere on the School site. The Millennium Boat House – shared with the neighboring Lady Eleanor Holles School – is situated on one of the most beautiful stretches of the River Thames providing a focal point for our internationally renowned and highly successful Boat Club. The School has undergone many transformations since then and, although remaining in the Hampton area. It moved to its current location in Hanworth Road in 1939. Although it became a State Grammar School in 1910, it reverted to Independent status in 1975. Today Hampton School is recognized as one of the leading academic boys’ schools in the UK. It has over 1,200 pupils, almost all of whom progress to top universities either in this country or abroad before pursuing a wide range of careers. View full school

Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility and at Hampton Junior School we ensure that your child’s safety is of paramount importance.

E-Safety is important to everyone at Hampton Junior School. We have an up-to-date policy that demonstrates how we keep our children safe online. Alongside this, we have developed an E-Safety Curriculum which helps the children learn about how to keep safe when using the internet and new technologies. Our Internet Safety Rules are displayed around the school and regular assemblies and parent meetings are held to support the promotion of E-Safety. For over a century Hampton Junior School has stood at the heart of Hampton as a focus of learning. The school opened in 1907 as Hampton Council School with separate departments providing accommodation for up to 400 boys and 400 girls! The two entrances with their signs can be seen as you enter the building. During World War II the school was adapted for use as a first-aid center. In 1969 the education committee changed the name from Percy Road School to Hampton Junior School. The school celebrated its centenary in 2007 to the delight of many former pupils and staff who were able to revisit their school (some over 70 years later!) and relive memories of their schooldays. The school has undergone much refurbishment and updating recently, providing extra facilities for the children as well as a Nurture Suite, a Library, a Studio, and Music Room as well as external improvements to the grounds. Most recently, we have opened a new hall, kitchen, and classroom block in preparation for expansion. In 2013 the Hampton Primary Partnership was formed, forging stronger links with Hampton Infant School, and continuing the school’s long tradition of serving the local community. View full school

We are a large and over-subscribed three-form entry junior school with 360 pupils on roll. We are federated with Carlisle Infant School and work extremely well with them, sharing high aspirations and a consistency in approach which supports and promotes the clear progression of all pupils, as they move through KS1 and KS2. We also have very positive working relationships with another partner KS1 and KS3 schools and are committed to ensuring a successful transition for all pupils. Hampton Hill Junior School is a Community school and admission arrangements are determined in agreement with the local authority. The Admissions Authority for our school is the London Borough of Richmond upon the Thames which publishes its entry regulations every year. Our governing body applies the regulations on admissions fairly and equally to all those who wish to attend this school following the Local Authority. We believe that children learn best when they can be fully involved in their learning and we are committed to providing them with as wide a range of enriching and engaging experiences as possible. We are fortunate to be situated close to a wide range of stimulating outdoor environments, which we regularly make use of to enhance the experiences the children have at HHJS. We are a school where children are encouraged to participate in and develop their academic and creative interests and talents and we are proud of the range of external validations we hold, regarding key areas such as art, music, curriculum, international links, and health and wellbeing. We have a central belief that pupil voice and leadership are key qualities that are beneficial to all and as such, we look to encourage and support the development of these whenever possible. We set high expectations for all of our pupils and work hard together to ensure that every child fulfills his or her potential. We believe in a whole team approach to supporting the children and are very proud of the commitment of our staff to this. We believe in providing the children with a curriculum that is progressive, vibrant, and exciting and have clear monitoring and assessment procedures in place to support their access to this, alongside ensuring their academic progress and social and emotional well-being. The introduction of the new primary curriculum in September 2014, has coincided with the Federation of Carlisle Infant School and Hampton Hill Junior School. As part of the preparation for both of these, staff from the schools worked together to develop a curriculum that is dynamic, broad, balanced, and innovative to ensure that the children enjoy a practical, fun, challenging learning experience that will prepare them for life in 21st Century Britain. At the fundamental core of our curriculum is a belief that children need to learn core knowledge whilst developing the necessary skills to make them independent thinkers who will progress through secondary school and beyond. As such we have identified a skills progression that the children will follow in each subject area to ensure that they can attain this. We also recognize that children need a curriculum that is wider than the national curriculum. To this end, we have incorporated aspects of Enterprise, Sustainability, Globalisation – through our international links and Full International School Status and Local Community Responsibility as well as Religious Education and Relationship Education. We are confident that through the dedication of all our staff we can ensure that all children receive a curriculum that is inspiring and appropriate to them as individuals. Hampton Hill Junior School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all children and adults at our school. We expect all staff and volunteers to share in our commitment to keeping children safe. We have a Safeguarding Governor, Ruth Wright who monitors the effectiveness of our safeguarding policy and procedures. The Richmond Local Safeguarding Children Board (LSCB) is an independent statutory board that ensures everyone is working together for the safety and well-being of children and young people in the London Borough of Richmond. At Hampton Hill, these values are taught, reinforced, and celebrated in an age appropriate way, through our broad, balanced, and enriched curriculum, collective worship, our structures and systems, our commitment to the importance of pupil voice and leadership, and as an intrinsic part of our ethos and values. We actively challenge pupils, staff, or parents to express opinions contrary to fundamental British Values, including ‘extremist’ views Creating a sustainable school is a key part of what we aim to do here at HHJS. We believe that the young people in our care are the leaders and decision-makers of the future and as such, their generation will play a pivotal role in determining the future of our planet and its resources. We believe that we as a school, have a major part to play in helping them to know about and understand the issues so that they can make informed decisions when they are older. In 2006, we successfully applied to become one of the “National College Leading Sustainable schools” and two years later we became the only “Knowledge School for Sustainability” in England through London Challenge. In 2010, we won the National Teaching Awards Leading Sustainable School for London. View full school

Hampton High is a warm, caring, and vibrant community that provides support and challenge to ensure that all students, regardless of their starting points, achieve well to go on to lead happy and fulfilled lives. It is with enormous pride that we greet our students every day. They wear their uniform with pride and are real ambassadors for the school beyond the school gates. Within school, they are courteous, warm, and show real kindness and respect to all members of the school community. After the admission of students with Statements of Special Educational Needs where the school is named in the Statement, the school will accordingly provide for the admission of students each year if sufficient applications for entry are received. Where fewer applications than the published admission number for the relevant year groups is received, the school will offer places at the school to all those who have applied. Subject to any provisions regarding waiting lists in LA’s coordinated admission scheme, the school will operate a waiting list for each year group. Where in any year the school receives more applications for places than there are places available, a waiting list will operate until the end of the academic year. These waiting lists will be maintained by the London Borough of Richmond on Thames and it will be open to any parent to ask for his or her child’s name to be placed on the waiting list, following an unsuccessful application. After July 2018 the school waiting lists will be disbanded and parents will have to request in writing to have their child’s name added to a waiting list for the school. Hampton High is committed to actively promoting the highest standards of safeguarding and support for the welfare of all students. We aim to provide a holistic approach to meeting the needs of all students. The safeguarding policy provides a secure framework for safeguarding and promoting the welfare of all students and includes procedures for child protection, e-safety, medical treatment, healthy eating, and other aspects of student welfare. Hampton High will ensure that all staff in the school act following the law and with statutory guidance and legislation as detailed in this policy and associated procedures. Hampton High will comply with all current statutory guidance and within effective partnerships with all relevant external agencies and organizations to safeguard children. We will provide a safe and welcoming environment where students feel secure, are listened to, and are safe, as well as feeling respected and valued. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children receive effective support, protection, and justice. The Library is a study environment and a place where students can come to enjoy reading. During the year we are involved in many activities, including Carnegie Award shadowing, literature quizzes with local schools, and World Book Day. The library catalog, Eclipse.net, is available online both in school and at home. There is also an app that can be downloaded to your phone or tablet. Here students can search the catalog, reserve books, post reviews, and much more. We believe that providing enrichment opportunities both inside and outside of school is crucial in helping young people to learn and develop life skills as well as enjoying their time at Hampton High. We offer an after-school timetable of activities that will be posted on the website at the start of each term. At Hampton High, we are committed to ensuring students master the core subjects and enjoy a balanced curriculum. It is neither desirable nor essential, for future career ambitions to over-specialize in specific subject areas. Therefore, we have developed an options system that offers students the right balance between breadth and specialism. Hampton High Sixth Form is a co-educational provision for students aged 16-19. Our core philosophy is to ensure our students enjoy a love of learning, achieve beyond their expectations, and feel empowered to become the leaders of, and contributors to, a better society. Hampton High has a reputation for offering a supportive, caring, and academic environment which guides our students. Students will have the opportunity to study with staff who know them well and are highly qualified subject specialists.

At Hampton Court House, we strive to equip our children with the emotional literacy they will require to negotiate the vicissitudes of life and thus to find happiness and fulfillment. Hampton Court House is an independent co-educational school. We take children from Nursery (three-year-olds) to Year 13 (eighteen-year-olds). The Sixth Form opened in September 2015. All students are prepared for 13+ Common Entrance and/or scholarship examinations of the leading boys’ and girls’ schools, although most children elect to stay on to take their GCSEs and A levels at Hampton Court House. Hampton Court House is situated in its private parkland, a 30 to 40-minute drive from Central London or a 35-minute train journey from Waterloo Station. It is important to us that children enjoy being here and look forward to coming to school. We wish to lay the foundations of a lifelong love of learning. The School is distinctive in the weight we place on achieving fluency in other languages we instill in all our pupils a firm cultural and artistic framework, which underpins all their academic studies. And we seek to empower our students with the confidence to express themselves effectively in both their public and private lives. We work with sparkling young minds – which sometimes need to be channeled and which sometimes need to be given free rein. Such is the paradox of education – there are no rules. Original thought requires the ability to think beyond, to adapt, to change, and to innovate. All this is quite different from that necessary and vital skill of passing examinations, where there most certainly are rules (they’re called ‘mark schemes’) to be followed. At Hampton Court House, we value the diverse ethnic backgrounds of our pupils and staff. We note the Department for Education’s (DfE) requirement “to create and enforce a clear and rigorous expectation on all schools to promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs” and these values are at the heart of our school culture. Academic excellence is developed in all our students through our commitment to an intellectual, creative, and questioning environment. We value individuality, originality, and independence we provide inspirational, traditional lessons with content-driven teaching. We believe the genius of creative expression is built upon the confidence of sure foundations. We strive to give our students the best possible grounding to take on life’s challenges, through their knowledge of other cultures and languages, and their self-awareness, and their acquisition of effective communication skills, so that they may influence and shape the future. Hampton Courthouse has an extensive and diverse co-curricular program that runs throughout the school from Early Years to Sixth Form. We have a wide base of clubs and societies which evolve to meet the needs of our students. If a student has a particular interest that they would like to pursue, foster, or propagate then we will do what we can to help them. We encourage students to take part in at least one club a term with most choosing to do more. The curriculum is taught through discrete subjects. Each subject teacher is a member of a department combining similar subjects. The members of the department meet most weeks to discuss progress, cross-curricular links and activities, differentiation strategies, and Gifted and Talented enhancements. The schemes of work should set out the range of topics for each subject to be taught over each term, how individual topics are to be taught, what resources will be used, and what opportunities will be taken for assessing pupils’ learning and progress. Each department has also written a handbook detailing the principles and vision of the department. The handbooks also detail textbooks and resources used in assessment and evaluation outline advice on applying school policy in the context of the subject of a department development plan. The Early Years is guided by and compliant with the EYFS Framework and goes beyond this significantly in some areas such as the early introduction for foreign languages, an early reading program, the Forest School provision, and specialist teaching in art, ballet, and music.
