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.

The governors are ambitious for the school and proud of what has been achieved in recent years. We are delighted that with strong leadership and high-quality staff, Grey Court is now an over-subscribed school where increasing numbers of young people are getting top GCSEs. The Governing Body is responsible and accountable for all major decisions about the school and its future. Governors set the school's vision and strategic aims, monitor, and evaluate performance acting as a critical friend to the headteacher, and ensure the school is accountable to those it serves. The Governing Body is made up of representatives from the community, those with business or professional expertise, parents, teaching, and non-teaching staff. There are five elected parent governors. A key feature at Grey Court School is the quality of care, guidance, and support that is available to students from the moment they join us. We provide a strong network of pastoral care with the core purpose of ensuring that students feel happy, safe, and able to achieve. Of central importance is the fostering of high-quality relationships between students, their peers, and staff which allows everyone to feel a sense of pride in their school community and how it develops.

At Byron Court, we have a motto that underpins what we intrinsically believe of all our children: ‘Believe it Achieve it!’ This means that we want to ensure that all children are given opportunities to develop their full potential and that the inspiring, broad, and balanced learning experiences they have at school will build lasting memories, inner confidence, and the ability to make a positive contribution to our society. We believe that we have personal and shared responsibilities to be the best we can be and that working together with governors, staff, pupils, their families, and our neighbors we can achieve the goals we set ourselves. Byron Court has been a popular school since 1932 and you will see in our guest book that past pupils still retain fond memories of their experiences and our neighbors are proud to have been either educated at the school themselves or have enjoyed watching their children and grand-children grow and develop at Byron Court. Byron Court was judged to be an outstanding school by Ofsted in 2012 and has since been awarded Teaching School status in March 2014, which reiterates that the school continues to deliver outstanding provision for its pupils in addition to providing teacher training, continued professional development to teachers and support to other schools through sharing good practice. We currently have 680 pupils at our school, some of whom are located at our temporary off-site provision in Ashley Gardens, which accommodates a Year 1 Class. The school will be submitting plans for a permanent expansion to 5 forms of entry. The demand for school places across much of the country means that a large majority of schools are expanding and the governors and staff of Byron Court believe that it is vitally important that all children have a right to be educated at a good or better school.

We believe this contributes to the health, safety, and developing independence of pupils and good relationships with our neighbors. The School wishes to give all children a sense of self-discipline, care for the environment, and a tolerance and respect for others, both within the School and the wider community. Children are assessed continuously in Maths, English, Science, Computing, and Spanish. All pupils are regularly assessed using teacher assessment based on the new National Curriculum statutory requirement criteria, which is based on age-related expectations. Children’s progress is monitored and analyzed termly by the class teacher and Senior Leadership team. During these meetings, any additional interventions are identified and subsequently delivered to meet the individual needs of every child in our school. In the Spring term targets are set in English and Maths and shared with each pupil in a one-to-one meeting and later with the parents at parent’s evening. In the Summer term, children in Years 2,3,4,5 & 6 are formally tested, the results are used to inform final teacher assessments for the year: this indicates if pupils are on track to achieve age-related expectations.

Moyles Court. While there are many beautiful and historic school buildings throughout the country, few reside within a National Park boundary in the way that Moyles Court School does. The New Forest, well known for its ancient heathlands, deep forests, and native ponies, attracts visitors from around the world. We’re pleased to say that our little corner remains very peaceful and it is only really local people who walk and enjoy the beautiful heathlands. Being able to walk directly out of our own safely enclosed gardens, straight into the New Forest, means we can maintain a healthy and natural outdoor life for our children and help satisfy their natural curiosity and energy. All pupils at the school enjoy their immediate surroundings with its huge sandpit – formed on the south side of a natural sandhill – the ford, brook, and surrounding lakes. It is here that Geography, Science, History, and Art start to take form for many of our children. There is also the physical activity of walking, exploring, and sailing on the local lakes. The school grounds of 14 acres are enclosed and the school enjoys a very open, sunny aspect. We have our woodland and we actively encourage wildlife to thrive there. It is only natural that we should be part of the Forest Schools initiative where children learn about conservation and natural habitats. The school site is large enough to accommodate a modern sports hall, Early Years and Pre-School facilities, gardens, sports fields, and an all-weather multi-sports court. Moyles Court School is a preserved and well-maintained historic house with a warming family atmosphere. It has retained many of its traditional features while providing a stimulating and beautiful place to learn. Moyles Court is unique in every way. The ethos and purpose of our school are encapsulated in our Mission Statement: “Moyles Court School educates each pupil within an inspiring, challenging and nurturing environment, to become responsible and respectful members of an ever-changing international community” At Moyles Court, we recognize the importance of providing an academic and broad-based education, designed to enable all pupils to discover their strengths and allow them to flourish and fulfill their potential. They are encouraged to work effectively, both independently and as a team, and to express their creativity and powers of imagination in a stimulating and supportive environment. We strive to foster self-confidence, enthusiasm, resilience, tolerance, good manners, and integrity and provide a level of pastoral care that nurtures both physical health and emotional maturity. We recognize that for future success, life skills play an equally important role alongside academic achievement and encourage our pupils to be innovative, compassionate, and purposeful.

Interaction between children of all ages throughout the school is a joy to observe. We have art and music facilities that we hope will stimulate our children's aesthetic senses. You may even get the chance to see our young actors practicing their skills in our drama hall. You will note that our library and our computers not only provide valuable and practical learning tools but also open many doors and windows to the wonder that is private education. We believe that learning should go beyond the formal classroom that what a child learns in sport and games complements the purely academic. Thus, we take great pride in the school grounds, and we value the sound of our children's laughter as they run about our five acres of gardens and stately lawns Our school reflects the sense of tradition and timelessness associated with education itself, but it also profits from the best of modern texts and technology. Most importantly, it profits from the life and the energy that our children bring with them. Our Pre-School is an integral part of the wider school that offers your child the opportunity to realize their potential early on in their school life. Your child will be encouraged to develop lively and enquiring minds, with a thirst for learning that is fun and engaging. The flexible approach that we take to our Pre-School classes means that we can arrange times to suit you that your child will spend with us. We amend the cost of these sessions in line with this. Your child will be cherished, and be a significant part of the family atmosphere that exists throughout the school. Your child will not only benefit from the care and expertise of our teaching staff but also the care and attention of the older children in the school.

This is based on the ground floor of the castle, with direct access to a large outside terrace, complete with playhouses and wet play equipment. Specialist teachers work with the children in French, music, drama, and sports starting at Nursery. Just like a building, future learning is based on firm foundations so priority is given to reading, comprehension, writing, and numeracy in the first three years. Once your child reaches the age of four, learning becomes more formally structured, practicing letters, numbers, and engaging in whole-class learning. This approach provides a stepping stone to Reception class and lays strong foundations for their academic and personal future. During your child’s time in the Reception class, they will be encouraged to build concentration, take responsibility for leading the class as it moves about the building, and returning the register as ‘class leader’. We encourage children to borrow a library book each week and aim to instill in your child a love of reading, and a sense of responsibility. By reading to their class teacher every day, we can identify areas where your child might struggle early on, to ensure that your child is given the best support possible throughout their time at Wickham Court. We are proud to boast five acres of secure grounds where children can expend energy and enjoy outdoor learning. When your child is in Nursery, they have access to an enclosed grassed area that is equipped with slides, see-saws, a Wendy House, and other outdoor play equipment. Play is a key tool in the development of social interaction, we are confident that your child will return home happily tired, having used most of their boundless energy during their school day. Throughout your child’s time at Nursery, they will be equipped with the tools to flourish further on in the school. We encourage empathy, kindness, and consideration for other people as well as placing firm foundations for a love of learning, and an enquiring mind. When your child leaves the Nursery, we anticipate that they will have learned to work with a degree of independence, recognize and form letters, and be proficient in handling numbers up to 10. However, once these objectives are reached, we do not stop encouraging their development and endeavor to provide an environment where your child is constantly engaged. View full school
