History
The first school to be built on the site of Hampton High was named Rectory School, established in 1936.
It was later renamed Hampton Community College.
By 2001, the school buildings at Hampton Community College, and other local schools, were considered inadequate for a modern education system.
The school was re-built as part of the
sponsored academies programme,
re-opening as Hampton Academy in 2010, under the governance of the
Learning Schools Trust.
The governance of Hampton Academy was transferred to the Richmond West Schools Trust in September 2016,
and its name was changed to Hampton High shortly afterwards. It then moved to the larger Bourne Trust in September 2021.
