Hamble Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 June 2023

The values of kindness and respect lie at the heart of this truly inclusive school. Leaders want all pupils to achieve their very best. They provide disadvantaged pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), every opportunity to succeed. Leaders ensure that families of pupils eligible for pupil premium know exactly what additional opportunities are available to their children. Pupils' personal development is exemplary. Leaders ensure that pupils learn to live in a modern British society by promoting the importance of equalities and individuals' rights. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are very strong. Pupils are calm and courteous throughout the day. They engage in their learning, working well both individually and with each other, including in the early years. These high standards of behaviour continue at playtimes, around the school and in assemblies. The school provides many rich experiences, both within the curriculum and outside normal school hours. Outdoor learning is a real asset and gives all pupils many opportunities to build independence and broaden their experiences. For example, all pupils in Year 5 have the opportunity to have taster sessions in sailing. This promotes pupils' appreciation of their local area and the opportunities available to them.

What the school should improve

• In some areas of the curriculum, pupils receive provision that is inconsistent with that outlined by leaders. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these areas. Leaders need to ensure all middle leaders have the skills and capacity to monitor their areas of responsibility effectively to enable all pupils, including those with SEND or who are disadvantaged, to achieve their very best.
