Monday 6 July

Dear Parents, Carers and Students,

Welcome to our newsletter for the twelfth, and penultimate, week of the summer term 2026. Please see below details of next week’s sponsored walk. The forecast is for hot weather again, so please ensure that your child/children are prepared for this as per below.

Another busy week in school as we head towards the end of term. As per my message on Friday, our uniform requirements have been relaxed, the warmest rooms in the school have been re-roomed and the rescheduled sports day from the week before last has been adapted due to the hot weather.

Today, we welcome our new cohort of students for Primary Transfer day. This is followed by a parent/carer meeting at 6pm.

Term ends for students at 12.30pm on Friday 17th July. As is customary, that day will be our annual Diversity Day where students may wear clothing that celebrates the diversity of our Lampton community. As a reminder, flags are not permitted to be worn or brought to school for the event. Further details will be posted on Google Classroom for students.

Please see below the dates of key events happening in school this half-term:

Tuesday 7th July	Primary transfer day and evening
Wednesday 15th July	Sponsored walk
Friday 17th July	Last day of term. School finishes at 12.30

With best wishes for the week ahead,

Stephen Davis

Headteacher

 

Sponsored Walk to Osterley Park and House on Wednesday 15 July 2026

We are delighted to continue our annual tradition of the whole-school sponsored walk to Osterley Park and House. This year it takes place on Wednesday 15 July. Students will be in their usual lessons until 11:30 and then will begin the walk shortly afterwards. After a pause for lunch on the field in front of Osterley House, students will make their way back to school in the afternoon.

We are walking to raise money for Steps 2 Recovery, a charity chosen by Lampton students for this year’s event. Steps 2 Recovery supports people leaving the criminal justice system with drug and alcohol dependence, to help them to build a stable, fulfilled life and avoid re-offending, homelessness and addiction. Please support us by making a donation here.

Students must wear their Lampton School PE kit, with comfortable shoes. Please ensure your child brings a refillable water bottle, a hat and sun protection. Students will not be able to buy lunch in the dining hall on this day so will need a packed lunch. Students in receipt of free school meals will receive a lunch bag.

Due to the nature of the walk, some students may return to school after 15:10 but it is not expected that any students will return any later than 15:40.

The walk route follows pavements, pathways and tracks through residential areas and the natural open spaces of Osterley Park, giving students a valuable experience in a local public space which they will have learnt more about earlier in the day. The event is fully staffed and risk assessed, in partnership with the National Trust, and we have provision in place for students requiring additional support.

Please note that, for this year only, the new year 11 year group is not taking part as they have work experience placements at this time. New year 9, new year 9, new year 10 and new year 13 will all be taking part. Please contact your child’s Head of Year if you do not wish them to take part in the walk.

We look forward to another successful walk, and to raising funds for Steps 2 Recovery.
