Best of Both Worlds
One of the most important ways in which you can support your child is to find a school in which they will thrive and be happy.
As Heads of Hampton and LEH, we share the view that a key advantage of single-sex schools is that our teachers are specialists in ensuring that boys and girls achieve their full potential. They have a full understanding of the particular issues their pupils face and will provide the support that helps them most, increasing their confidence and building their resilience.
Being immediate neighbours puts us in the fortunate position of being able to offer pupils at Hampton and LEH the ‘best of both worlds’ and for generations, the schools have enjoyed close links. In September 2026, Hampton and LEH announced that they were formalising their long-standing partnership committing to creating even more opportunities for pupils at both schools.
Boys and girls now enjoy an enhanced programme of shared experiences, including clubs, performances, competitions and leadership initiatives. They also benefit from greater access to each school’s outstanding facilities, including the swimming pool at LEH and the 3G pitch and climbing wall at Hampton. Pupils from both schools will be able to benefit from the superb speaker programmes run on both sites and planning is also underway for a joint Festival of Ideas run by and for the pupils at each school.
Hampton and LEH are wonderful schools in their own right, and life at both is enhanced by our distinctive and very special relationship.
