Hampton Court House
At the heart of HCH is our philosophy of "Achievement with Heart" - a balance of high academic standards with a nurturing, student-centered environment.
Nestled within the beautiful and serene surroundings of Bushy Park near East Molesey, Hampton Court House is an independent co-educational school that offers an exceptional education for children aged 2-18. Defined by our progressive ethos and unique approach, HCH is a school where academic achievement is seamlessly combined with emotional well-being, individuality, and self-expression.
At the heart of HCH is our philosophy of “Achievement with Heart” – a balance of high academic standards with a nurturing, student-centered environment. Smaller class sizes of not more than 18 allow for personalized learning, ensuring every child’s talents, passions, and potential are fully realised. Our non-uniform policy and use of first names between students and teachers create a psychologically safe space and meaningful student – teacher relationships where young people thrive.
HCH delivers a rigorous yet holistic curriculum, combining academic excellence with experiential learning, artistic exploration, and language immersion. Students consistently achieve exceptional academic results and are lifted off their academic flightpath, with 61% A*/A at GCSE and 35% A*/A at A-Level in 2025. Destinations include Oxbridge, Russell Group, leading international universities and a 100% medical school acceptance rate. London acts as an extended classroom, with regular cultural and academic outings across the city. Students also access world-class sporting facilities through partnerships with St Mary’s University, Xcel Sports Hub, and East Molesey Rowing Club.
A Finalist for London Independent School of the Year after two consecutive shortlistings, HCH also received the 2025 national award for Developing Student Voice. Our school removes the typical pressures of London education, creating space for students to thrive. Our unique Sixth Form programme – combining academic excellence with evidence-based pillars of mental and physical health, leadership, cultural literacy, and community – won a national award for Innovation in Education in 2025.
Hampton Court House is more than a school – it’s a place where children are truly seen, valued, and empowered to exceed expectations. With a vibrant, supportive environment and a commitment to individual growth, HCH prepares students not just for academic success, but for life.
