History

The first school to be built on the site of Hampton High was named Rectory School, established in 1936.^[3] In 1999 it was renamed Hampton Community College.^[3]

By 2001, the school buildings at Hampton Community College, and other local schools, were considered inadequate for a modern education system.^[4] The school was re-built as part of the sponsored academies programme,^[5] re-opening as Hampton Academy in 2010, under the governance of the Learning Schools Trust.^[6]^[7]

The governance of Hampton Academy was transferred to the Richmond West Schools Trust in September 2016,^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11] and its name was changed to Hampton High shortly afterwards. It then moved to the larger Bourne Trust in September 2021.^[1]
