Hampton School is an Independent day school for boys aged 11 -18 in Middlesex.

It is fitting this Holocaust Memorial Day week (2022) that we can announce our 20th Quality Mark Beacon School: Hampton School – a school whose commitment to quality provision for, and experience of, Holocaust teaching and learning is outstanding, but also its championing of talking and education about genocide and prevention, remarkable.

Full details of Hampton’s established curriculum and enrichment offer regards Holocaust education and active global citizenship, will be available next term upon full publication of the report. But we are thrilled to recognise Lead Teacher, Andy Lawrence, his colleagues across the school and Headmaster Kevin Knibbs, for their dedication, innovation, professionalism, and leadership – their values are lived and not simply laminated.

Both the below summary, and future full report, will evidence the range of  outstanding practice embodied in the History curriculum, the @genocide8020 student group, the willingness to partner and connect with other schools – truly being a ‘Beacon’ – working on innovative projects and special events; including annual HMD plans, the respect afforded testimony and the relationships built with the survivor community, the regard for research informed practice and the application of Centre pedagogic principles with their work.  We look forward to sharing more details soon.

Achieving Quality Mark status at any time is a significant achievement, to do so during a pandemic, is more impressive and commendable.  Successful accreditation is testimony to sustained hard work and innovation. It remains our pleasure and privilege to partner with the school, with Andy and colleagues, and to support Hampton’s work. We offer our congratulations to the staff, students, families’, and community of Hampton School – on this Holocaust Memorial Day week it’s a timely reminder of what a school, a teacher, a community can do.

The Quality Mark scheme is a great way to celebrate and share best practice and is both developmental and forward looking. Beacon School alumni considering undertaking the Quality mark process should contact Schools Network Co-ordinator Nicola Wetherall or read more here
