Admissions

Lampton is a Leading Edge school, and is a training school which currently has around 1,358 students on roll. Lampton borders the A4 (Great West Road) in Hounslow, and is next to Lampton Park and Hounslow Civic Centre. This is about one mile west of Spring Grove, and a mile south of the M4 near Heston. Osterley Park is a mile to the north-east. Its ethnic mix reflects that of the local area, with most students being of Indian subcontinental heritage. That said, the school contains a wide range of ethnicities, including (but not limited to) white British, and Polish, and around 30% of students receive free school meals.

Lampton also offers a 6th Form for pupils aged 16 and over, which takes the majority of its intake from Lampton GCSE students, but is also open to applicants from outside the school. The current headteacher is Stephen Davis. He was preceded by Dame Sue John, who was knighted in 2012. Mr Davis is supported by associate head teacher, Jacquie Smith. As well as deputy head - Lynne Isham (curriculum) and Ray Whyms
