Hampton College
About Hampton College
Hampton College sits within the Peterborough local authority, a secondary state school that educates pupils from age 4 all the way through to 19. Among the 16 schools of its type in the area, it is not the highest-ranked — that spot belongs to The King's (The) Cathedral School — but it holds its own in a competitive landscape. The school is co-educational and non-religious, with a headteacher structure split between a secondary and a primary phase leader. With 1,620 pupils on roll, it is a large institution, and its most recent Ofsted inspection awarded it a Good rating. That places it in the majority of Peterborough schools, given that only one other school in the local authority has achieved an Outstanding grade. For families weighing up options, Hampton College offers a solid, well-regarded alternative to the top-performing peers nearby, without the pressure of a selective or faith-based admissions policy.
