We’re the Friends of Hampton Court House, the school’s parent-led charity. We bring families together and raise funds for experiences and opportunities that enrich our children’s school life.
Whether you’re new to HCH or have been here for years, we’d love you to join in. Come along to a coffee morning, lend a hand at an event or share an idea. There’s a place for everyone, and every bit of help makes a difference.
Our Summer Fête on 28 June brought the HCH community together for an afternoon full of creativity, music and shared fun.
We loved seeing our Young Entrepreneurs run their stalls, hearing performances by HCH pupils and School of Rock, and welcoming visitors to the 3D printing workshop, water tasting experience and Dog Show.
Thank you to everyone who came along and to the volunteers and supporters who made it possible. Explore the photos and highlights from the day.
We bring families together and help create opportunities for pupils. Here are a few recent moments we’ve celebrated in our newsletters.
At our June 2026 fête, pupils developed products, created their own branding and welcomed customers at the Young Entrepreneurs stalls. HCH student performances, School of Rock, 3D printing, water tasting and the Dog Show all helped make it a memorable community day.
We welcomed new families at the school barbecue and brought students, parents and staff together at our Friday coffee mornings.
Our September PE kit and crêpe sale gave families a chance to pass on useful kit, enjoy a treat and support the Friends. Thank you to everyone who donated, shopped or volunteered, including the new faces who joined our helpers.
These activities are recorded in our newsletters of 3 July, 11 September and 18 September 2026.
Alongside our community events, we’re trying to arrange workshops and talks with the school that give pupils a chance to explore new interests.
Ideas include STEM topics such as robotics, coding and AI literacy; innovation and entrepreneurship; and leadership, critical thinking and debate.
These are ambitions we’re exploring together. What we can offer will depend on finding suitable people, funding and dates, and agreeing the activities with the school.
Could you share your expertise, suggest a speaker or help us make a useful introduction? We’d love to hear from you at admin@hamptoncourthouse-friends.co.uk.
