Annual Review 2014 - 2015 Annual Review 2014 - 2015 Hampton School HMC Independent School for boys, Founded in 1557 Hampton School HMC Independent School for boys, Founded in 1557 Hampton School HMC Independent School for boys, Founded in 1557 Hampton School Hampton School HMC Independent School for boys, Founded in 1557 Hampton School HMC Independent School for boys, Founded in 1557 HIGHLIGHTS OF 2014-2015 From The Headmaster’s study A look through the pages following this introduction demonstrates that our multi-talented Hampton boys continue to record remarkable achievements across the full range of academic and co-curricular activities. We began the Autumn Term celebrating excellent public examination results achieved by Hamptonians in 2014 and these proved the catalyst for a wonderful year for the School, inside the classroom and beyond. Examination results in Summer 2015 were also truly superb, with our pupils achieving a best-ever A* percentage at A Level/Pre-U and substantial new records for A* and A*- A grades at I/GCSE. Twenty-five Oxbridge places were confirmed and virtually all Upper Sixth leavers secured places at a Russell Group or equivalent university, to read for an impressively varied range of undergraduate degrees. Hampton is perhaps unique in consistently being in the very top academic echelon nationally while simultaneously enjoying a reputation as one of the country’s most renowned sporting schools. Our 1st XI footballers reached their fifth Boodles ISFA Cup Final in the past ten seasons and retained the Surrey, Trinity and London Independent Schools Cups; the U15A squad were national champions in the Investec ISFA U15 Cup and the U14As reached the national semi-final of the ESFA competition. Seven Hampton boys played for ISFA national representative sides. In rugby, the 1st XV once again reached the quarter-finals of the NatWest Cup, our U13 XV reached a national quarter- final, and both the 2nd XV and U16 XV were Middlesex Cup champions. The U13 XI cricketers won the Middlesex Cup in their sport. The Boat Club’s crews won nine events across their seven summer regattas, and once again featured prominently in the medals table at the National Schools’ Regatta. The cultural life of the School has been as vibrant as ever. We have been treated to a host of outstanding dramatic and musical productions, including that of Jekyll and Hyde and Much Ado about Nothing (both in conjunction with The Lady Eleanor Holles School) and concerts too numerous to mention. The magnificent and poignant staging of Journey’s End by our senior actors will live especially long in the memory, and the School’s celebrated male voice choir, Voices of Lions, returned to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe to wide acclaim. Alongside all these sporting, musical and theatrical endeavours, hundreds of Hampton boys continue to show admirable commitment to the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme, the CCF, Adventure Society activities, and our flourishing Community Service programme and Form Charity events. Hampton is unashamedly focused upon academic and all-round excellence, but everything is approached in a proportionate, caring and balanced way. Three adjectives are of particular importance within our community and epitomise the School and its pupils: lively, friendly and unpretentious. Each of these words forms part of the essence of Hampton and we believe that they set our School apart. Our boys are wonderfully talented and have strong personal ambition, but they support one another with a generous spirit; they treat people with respect and according to their merits, inside and outside the School gates; they will go on to lead and serve in many fields with characteristic Hamptonian wisdom, empathy and cheerful resilience. Leading this exceptional School is a source of great joy and remains a huge privilege.

  • The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken(
    ...................... - ..................................... = .................................................................... The Marketing of Corn in the First Half of the Eighteenth Century: North,East Ken( By DENNIS BAKER I HE home market was at least six times as valuable as the overseas market during the first half of the eighteenth century. The ratio could have been T much higher and one contemporary estimate even puts it at 32 to ~. Throughout the early modern period the vast bulk of this traffic concerned agri- cultural produce, for in I75o England was still a predominantly agricultural economy. 2 Marketing, nevertheless, remains one of the most neglected aspects of agri- cultural history? There is a dearth of suitable source material. We know much about the management of crops and livestock in the field, little about their journey beyond the farm gate. A thorough exploration of the various outlets leading from farm to consumer is a rare venture. More frequently we seek shelter in some terminological cul-de-sac like 'commercialized agriculture' or 'farming for the market'. Admittedly, in some regions the market outlets were few or fraught with hazards; such, for instance, was the difficult position of those who farmed the Midland clays, ill-drained and intractable. But others, more fortunately placed, could choose from a wide range of marketing possi- bilities; this held true, for example, over much of the eastern and home counties. The farmers of north-east Kent possessed a number of competitive advan- tages, but none more valuable than proximity to the markets both local and in London. This fertile belt of Kent stretches from Rainham in the west to the eastern extremities of Thanet, a distance of about 35 miles; it averages 8 miles or more in width.
