Welcome to STEMPunx Summer 2026
This summer we're opening the doors to Hampton House for the very first time.
STEMPunx is a Regulation First, SEND-friendly learning community where children are encouraged to explore, create, investigate and belong. Rather than moving everyone through the same timetable, children choose from a range of creative spaces and themed activities throughout the day. Whether they love building, making art, solving mysteries, tabletop games, storytelling or simply taking time to recharge, there is something for everyone.
Our small-group approach makes Hampton House particularly welcoming for many neurodivergent children, anxious learners and young people who thrive with choice, flexibility and calm environments.
Children attending for a full day should bring a packed lunch and a refillable drinks bottle.
We can't wait to welcome you to the start of the next chapter of STEMPunx.
Every day includes access to our permanent activity spaces:
🎨 Art Lab – draw, paint, design and experiment
🛠 Maker Space – invent, build and create using recycled and traditional materials
🕵️ Challenge Archive – puzzles, mysteries and hands-on STEM investigations
Alongside these spaces, each weekday has its own unique theme.
Monday – Upcycle & Invent
Discover. Deconstruct. Design.
Become an inventor for the day as we take everyday objects apart to discover how they work before giving their components a brand-new purpose.
Using recycled materials, donated treasures and a little imagination, children can create sculptures, machines, inventions, kinetic art or entirely new creations of their own design.
Alongside our themed activities, children can also enjoy our permanent creative spaces including the Art Lab, Maker Space and Challenge Archive, allowing them to move between activities throughout the day.
Perfect for curious minds who enjoy taking things apart, building, designing and asking "What if...?"
Tuesday - Adventure Guild
Every great adventure begins with a single choice... Who will you become?
Step into a world of fantasy where brave heroes, mysterious creatures and forgotten kingdoms await.
Whether you're joining your first quest or returning to continue an epic campaign, Adventure Guild is a place to create characters, solve problems, explore new worlds and work together to overcome exciting challenges.
You don't need any experience to join. Our Dungeon Masters will guide new adventurers while experienced players can continue developing their characters and stories.
Alongside our roleplaying adventures, children are free to explore our permanent creative spaces throughout the day, choosing activities that match their interests and energy levels.
Perfect for imaginative minds who love stories, teamwork, maps, monsters and unforgettable adventures.
Wednesday - Battlefields and Strategy
Every great battle is won long before the first move is made.
Become a commander, engineer or battlefield designer as we explore the art of strategy, planning and tactical thinking.
Build incredible landscapes, design castles and battlefields, paint miniatures, command armies and discover how geography, engineering and decision-making have shaped conflicts throughout history and fantasy.
Whether you prefer creating detailed scenery, planning the perfect strategy or leading armies across the tabletop, there's a role for everyone.
Alongside our featured activities, children are free to explore our permanent creative spaces throughout the day, moving between activities as their interests and imagination lead them.
Perfect for creative builders, strategic thinkers and anyone who enjoys solving problems one move at a time.
Thursday - Time Travellers
Every object has a story. Every stitch, invention and game connects us to the people who came before us.
Travel through time as we discover how people lived, created, fought and solved problems throughout history.
Try traditional textile crafts, explore historical engineering, recreate ancient skills and experience history through hands-on making rather than textbooks.
Challenge friends to historical tabletop games, discover forgotten inventions and uncover the stories hidden within everyday objects.
Throughout the day children are free to move between activities and our permanent creative spaces, exploring history in the way that interests them most.
Perfect for curious minds who enjoy making, discovering and asking, "How did people do that?"
Friday - Worlds and Wonders
Every legend begins with a question... Could it be real?
Step into a world where myths, monsters and mysterious creatures inspire scientific curiosity, creative storytelling and unforgettable adventures.
Become a cryptid investigator in Monster Hunters Club, examining clues, footprints, eyewitness accounts and strange discoveries to decide what's fact, fiction or somewhere in between.
Then continue the adventure in Story Studio, creating your own characters, journals, comics, podcasts, stories or illustrated field guides inspired by the creatures and worlds you've explored.
Throughout the day, children are free to move between activities and our permanent creative spaces, following their own interests and imagination in our Regulation First environment.
Perfect for curious minds who love mysteries, mythology, storytelling and asking, "What if the legends were true?"
