Year 12 Celebration Evening

Our Highest Achieving Year 11 Students attained 148 As and A*s between them.
A fantastic achievement.
Hampton Academy alumni from the class of 2011 returned on Monday night to celebrate their significant achievements during their five years at Hampton Academy and its predecessor, Hampton Community College.

The Year group enjoyed many successes including our best ever number of A and A* Grades and the highest A*-C English results in the school's history among numerous other successes.

Students were each presented with their GCSE and B-Tec certificates and enjoyed performances by the 'Year 11 Band' and reminisced about school life during a slide-show of photos that charted their development from nervous Year 7s on their first day at HCC to the first ever cohort of students to graduate from Hampton Academy.

Two students from each subject area were awarded a prize for either attainment or achievement. A full list of winnersWord (word, 43 kB) and a copy of the programmeWord 2007 (word 2007, 36 kB) are available to download.

Although the evening celebrated the success of all of our students, some were given special awards for significant achievements during their time at our school.
