HAMPTON SCHOOL C E L E B R AT I N G PA R T N E R S H I P S 2019-20

It has been genuinely uplifting to see the enthusiasm for meaningful and mutually beneficial partnership activities across the 2019-20 academic year.

Our partnership programme continues to flourish thanks to the creativity and commitment of Hamptonians and colleagues, and the schools and other organisations with which we work.

CELEBRATING PARTNERSHIPS

We are delighted to share with you this publication celebrating our thriving and diverse range of partnerships.

The pages that follow reflect just some of the many partnership activities that took place during the 2019-20 academic year and offer a flavour of our vibrant programme. These initiatives could not succeed without the imagination and creative talents of those involved from our partner schools and other organisations we wish to record our sincere thanks to all of them for their enthusiasm, commitment and friendship.

At Hampton, we remain deeply committed to playing a full and active role within our local community because we know from experience that cross-sector collaborations provide better educational opportunities and outcomes for everyone involved. We are pleased that so many Hamptonians wholeheartedly embrace this important element of our School’s ethos and we hope that you will enjoy reading about our partnership activities.

While some of our usual activities were necessarily postponed due to the closure of school sites during the March to July lockdown period, it was very heartening indeed that Hamptonians continued to seek new opportunities for working in partnership locally. This was a very powerful expression of the most fundamental principle that guides our School community: to aspire to personal best while supporting those around us with kindness.

With kind regards and best wishes,

Kevin Knibbs Headmaster

Face shields provide an extra layer of protection for health and care staff when interacting with our patients, both for our staff and the patients we are seeing.

Dr Charlotte Caniff, Clinical Chair of Surrey Heartlands Clinical Commissioning Group

Responding to the urgent need for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), Hampton‘s Design and Engineering Department quickly produced an easily manufacturable face shield in the School workshops using laser-cutting equipment. They were able to produce 100 units a day and supplied over 1,300 face shields at the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

We cannot thank you enough for the protective visors. They have already been put to good use by nurses and many of the Richmond care homes we support.

The School supplied face shields to the Richmond and Hounslow NHS Trust community nursing team, NHS units in Surrey, and GP surgeries in Stockwell, among others.

CRATES OF FOOD DONATED TO FELTHAM FOOD BANK

FELTHAM FOOD BANK During the summer months, Hampton School ran food bank collections in support of Feltham Food Bank, which serves communities in Bedfont, Hanworth, Feltham and the surrounding areas.

Over 70 crates of food and toiletries were donated to local families in need.

During the Coronavirus lockdown we have received amazing support from Hampton School. At its peak, Feltham Food Bank was delivering substantial weekly food parcels to more than 100 local families who had been referred for help. The food collected and donated

by Hampton School was an invaluable part of this service.

RAISED FOR OUR FORM CHARITY PARTNERS IN THE 1557 CHALLENGE

Taking inspiration from the year the School was founded, the 1557 Challenge saw pupils raising money for our 2019-20 Form Charity partners: Off the Record, Momentum, Make a Wish Foundation and Mary’s Meals.

Hamptonians came up with a range of ingenious ways to carry out the 1557 Challenge – from hitting a punchbag 1557 times to a 15.57 kilometre run, and even climbing the stairs 1557 times, the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest.

Celebrating Partnerships 2019-20

Hampton School enjoys close links with Shooting Star Children’s Hospice. Our partnership events have included the recent Sponsored River Row and the popular monthly Youth Club.

With the Covid-19 pandemic impacting charity fundraising, the Hampton and Holles Boat Club Association (HHBCA) challenged its members to take part in the nationwide #TwoPointSixChallenge.

Raising money for the Shooting Star Children’s Hospices, the HHBCA came up with many innovative ways to carry out the challenge - from a 26-mile cycling time trial to a family rowing relay.

It was so wonderful to see the Hampton and LEH communities take on such a wonderfully inventive challenge in aid of Shooting Star Children’s Hospices.

Jane De Lay, Shooting Star Children’s Hospices

The HHBCA community raised over £6,400, which will go towards providing care for 700 families each year in the local area.

YEAR FIVE PUPILS JOINED LION LEARNING

The spring term saw the launch of Hampton School’s new Lion Learning programme. Over the year, 46 girls and boys from eight local primary schools had regular lessons taught by members of the Hampton Common Room.

As teachers, we would love to provide every child with a personalised programme of study, support and challenge, but a normal classroom means that you’ve got lots of children to think about - there is a broad range of different needs. These pupils are thirsty for knowledge and Lion Learning is going to give them that extra time of really personalised, individual support from specialist teachers with incredible resources.

John Hutchinson, Assistant Head, Reach Academy Lion Learning has been designed in close collaboration with headteachers from several of our local partner primary schools.

The 12-month programme is free of charge. It allows children to explore English, Maths, Philosophy and Science through a range of exciting activities and lessons led by subject specialist teachers from Hampton School, supported by Sixth Form mentors.

I’ve been able to develop new strategies.

I feel like I can aim high. I’m ready to go back into school and hopefully pass my GCSEs.

Hampton School ran a two-week, summer catch-up programme for Year 10 pupils, who were particularly impacted by site closures during the Covid-19 pandemic. Over 70 pupils due to sit GCSEs in 2021 benefited from lessons in English, Maths, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geography, and History.

Jaimeeka, Tolworth Girls’ School

Teachers from Hampton and LEH provided daily lessons for pupils from Twickenham School, Reach Academy, The Hollyfield School, Orleans Park School and Tolworth Girls’ School in order to help them catch up on key parts of the curriculum.

The programme was designed to address the needs of all students. These superb catch-up sessions offered our pupils an opportunity to consolidate their learning with the help of teaching by staff who gave up their summer holidays to ensure students could benefit.

This is such an amazing partnership for us.

Partnerships around STEM are particularly valuable with expertise and resources helping our students.

PUPILS WORKING TOGETHER A key aspect of school partnerships is the benefit that can be gained from engagement and collaboration between pupils. Through different schemes, including peer mentoring and team-based initiatives, pupils learn new skills, build confidence and develop talents.

Our Senior pupils provide regular support at a number of local schools.

• Hampton School enjoys a long-established partnership with additional needs school, Clarendon, and our boys regularly visit to assist at lunchtime sports clubs.

It has improved my confidence in reading.

I really enjoy seeing Cosmo every week – it is great fun to talk to him as well as show him how much I’ve improved.

• Sixth Form Hamptonians work with Year Seven pupils at neighbouring school Hampton High to help build their confidence by providing literacy and comprehension support.

• Hampton Sixth Formers visit Buckingham Primary School where they listen to children read and provide classroom support.

• Over 50 Fourth and Fifth Year Hampton boys spend their lunchtime, once a week, at local primary schools helping with maths activities, reading, chess, as well as joining in with playtime.

PEER TO PEER MENTORING Weekly Science GCSE revisions sessions, run by our Sixth Form pupils, are very popular during exam preparation time. A group of Sixth Form Hamptonians regularly support Year 10 and 11 pupils at Hampton High with their GCSE Chemistry revision.

Hampton Sixth Formers supported our triple Science students, offering small group tuition and exam skills advice.

The Hampton High students really enjoyed the mentorship the Hampton pupils provided.

PUPILS WORKING TOGETHER Hampton School’s pupil-led campaign group Genocide 80Twenty is engaged with several maintained schools in a number of partnership projects.

ANNUAL GENOCIDE AWARENESS DAY

Over 135 pupils from ten local secondary schools came together for Genocide Awareness Day 2019. The schoolchildren were joined by three survivors of genocide who gave inspirational testimonies about their experiences.

The pupils also took part in a series of workshops where they crafted animations, produced newspaper articles, wrote poetry and created artwork based on the stories of the survivors.

The day culminated with each of the pupils designing a commemorative stone that will be placed within the foundations of the new Holocaust Memorial and Learning Centre, which is due to open in 2021.

HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY 2020 Pupils from Hampton and local schools, LEH and Turing House, worked together to organise an event to mark Holocaust Memorial Day and the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The invited audience, which included local MP Munira Wilson, heard personal testimonies from a Holocaust survivor, as well as a performance from Richmond Music Trust string players.

Pupils from across the borough also produced their own newspaper to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.

#REMEMBER8372 Another partnership project has been the production of the #remember8372 newspaper in collaboration with Braes High School in Scotland and the PEACE IV programme, a European Union initiative designed to support peace and reconciliation.

The publication marks the 25th anniversary of the genocide in Srebrenica and remembers the survivors and victims.
