Hampton School contributes to the local community in a variety of different ways.
Over a hundred Hampton boys, from Fourth Year upwards assist at four local primary schools: Buckingham School and Clarendon School in Hampton, and Crane Park School and Forge Lane School in Hanworth. Boys visit during lunchtimes and each member of the Lower Sixth also does a placement in one of the schools as part of his General Studies course.
