About the Library
The library is situated in the heart of Hampton College and is a comfortable environment for students to study, do homework, read and borrow or return books. With over 10,000 books (fiction and non-fiction) and magazines as well as PCs and laptops to work on, the library has something to offer to students of all year groups.
At Hampton College, we are committed to promoting literacy on a school-wide level, to help every student discover their new favourite book, and begin or continue reading for pleasure. The school library is a safe space in which all students can be themselves and feel represented in the stories they find on the shelves.

The library is open from 8.30am – 3.45pm Monday to Friday. All students can use the computers for completing homework. There are also laptops available to students in Y11, 12 and 13.
All students are automatically registered as a library member as soon as they start at Hampton College. Year 7 students receive a library induction during an English lesson, within the first few weeks of the autumn term.
The library is managed by Mrs Fletcher. She is supported at break and lunchtime by an enthusiastic team of Student Library Assistants. Please contact Mrs Fletcher if you have any library related queries: library@hamptoncollege.org.uk
