Our take
Independent co-ed all-through school in Richmond upon Thames for ages 2–18, day or boarding. Selective entry.
- Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 2–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
- Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
- Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
- Children who can demonstrate strong academics at entry assessment — this is a selective school.
- Selective entry — assume some form of assessment at the relevant entry point. Plan tutoring or familiarisation early if needed.
- SEND provision isn't documented in our profile. If your child has an EHCP or specific learning needs, ask admissions about case-by-case capacity before applying.

Recent coverage
In October 2025, Hampton Court House School underwent a full inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate (ISI) and was found to be fully compliant, meeting all required standards. The inspection highlighted the school's cohesive leadership team, which successfully promotes a holistic and inclusive educational ethos where pupils are known and nurtured as individuals. The report also noted that the school provides a stimulating environment with a suitable range of extracurricular activities, some of which result from pupils' initiatives or requests, and some are led by pupils in the sixth form who develop leadership skills and foster a sense of community across the school.
