Lampton School is a secondary school and sixth form with academy status located in Hounslow, west London, England.
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. The school has a wide range of ethnicities, including 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 headteacher is Stephen Davis. He was preceded by Sue John, also known as Dame Susan Elizabeth John, who was knighted in 2012 for her service to education.
Lampton School used to be known as Spring Grove Grammar School, a grammar school before being converted to a comprehensive. The school gained its Humanities Specialist status in 2003, a designation which enabled the building of the Language and Learning Zone (LLZ), a multi-media and Information and communication technologies suite situated at the western end of the Spring Grove building.
