Hampton High Sixth Form is a co-educational provision for students aged 16-19. 

Our lead school is Teddington School who run the Sixth Form provision for both schools. 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.

Applicants must check their emails regularly (including their SPAM boxes) once they have applied as all communications including invitations to interview and Conditional Offers are sent to the address supplied to UCAS Progress.

Students can see a full list of courses offered on the UCAS Progress site. Whilst we run courses here at Hampton High, students can also take courses at Teddington School. This will mean that some students could have a dual site experience. If this is the case and students study two of the three courses here at Hampton High they will be recognised as a Hampton High student.
