The Fulham Football Club Enterprise Challenge Final 2010

On the 19th of November 5 BTEC Sports pupils from Hampton Academy took part in a national competition answering the question,

"In an ever changing world, your task is to create new and improved communication channels for the club to engage young fans.”

The day allowed a fantastic tour of Fulham's Craven Cottage, the oldest football ground in London. Pupils got to sit in the home and away changing rooms as well as have their pictures taken in the interview room where many footballing greats have stood. 

The tour was a bonus but not what they were really there for, all pupils had worked exceptionally hard on a presentation which they researched, completed and rehearsed in just one week. Hampton Academy were up against schools such as Latymer and Woodridge.

Pupils made a fantastic presentation and the competition was tuff. In the end Hampton Academy came second only loosing out to Woodridge in what the judges called a very closely fought battle!

Congratulations to our team; Natasha Aris, Stivie Bays, Migena Dollani, Tom Outram and Josh Smith.

London 2012 Olympic Network School

Congratulations to Hampton Academy! This week Hampton Academy celebrated as we became one of the first Richmond schools to be affiliated to the London 2012 Olympic Games. Hampton Academy joined the national network of schools affiliated to the London 2012 education programme 'Get Set'. Hampton Academy have committed to living the Olympic and Paralympic values, and will promote the values in student life. This prestigious honour will give our school some fantastic opportunities to get involved in the build up to the 2012 games including online teacher resources, student led projects, creating our own Olympic legacy and chances to host Olympic athletes at school events. The Richmond School Sports Partnership 2012 coordinator Jimmy Giblin, will be leading on school Olympic projects in the approach to the games. Hampton Academy have nominated two Olympic Ambassadors that will join the Richmond Olympic Committee to begin projects in school to inspire students and engage local communities. Joining the 'Get Set' network will raise the profile of our school to a national level and we now have exclusive use of the Olympic education branding.
