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 individual signs can be seen as you enter the building. During World War II the school was adapted for use as a first aid centre. 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 and additional meeting rooms, a Nurture Suite, a Library, an Art Space and Music Room as well as external improvements to the grounds.

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.

Welcome to Hampton Junior School; a vibrant and forward-looking centre for learning which has been at the heart of the Hampton Village community for over 100 years. We are proud of its history and hold dear the traditional values of respect, hard work and responsibility.

“Be the best you can be.” This simple statement is at the heart of our aspirations; running throughout our school and underpins the values, curriculum, teaching and expectations of all. Hampton Juniors is a happy and friendly environment which enables all children to thrive. We have developed an active, exciting and fast-paced curriculum which seeks to stimulate, engage and stretch all our children whilst developing a lifelong love of learning.

Through personalised learning and high expectations, all children are able to flourish and experience success. We are a strong, caring and supportive school community where children learn to take responsibility for themselves whilst being encouraged to value and care for others.

We are very pleased with our latest Ofsted report but we are constantly striving to improve further. There are many exciting projects, both current and planned, to enhance the education of our children. We are always gratified to see the achievements of all our children and we know that successful education relies on a real partnership between pupils, parents and teachers. Our work within the local community, supported by longstanding friends and parents, has helped our children develop and succeed into responsible young citizens..
