What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Hampsthwaite Primary is a school where the pupils are placed at the heart of everything. Strong, nurturing and positive relationships ensure that pupils feel happy and safe. Staff care deeply for the pupils and know all the children and families well. Parents say, 'This isn't just a school; it's a family.' The school's values of belief, respect, friendship, support and creativity are lived and breathed by pupils and adults alike. The school has high expectations for all pupils to develop as confident, successful learners. Pupils are ready for the next stage of their education. Pupils achieve well across the curriculum. From the start of Nursery, staff set high expectations for children's behaviour. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in every lesson. Pupils enjoy coming to school. As a result, attendance is higher than average, which means pupils benefit from rich learning opportunities. Pupils treat one another with respect and compassion. Older pupils are excellent role models, displaying respect and kindness towards each other. They form strong relationships with the younger children, helping them to live up to high standards of kindness and respect.
What the school should improve
- In some curriculum areas, the activities pupils complete are not closely matched to the intended learning. This means that in some subjects, pupils do not develop a secure understanding of the important knowledge as well as they could. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented effectively in all subjects so that pupils remember the important content of the curriculum that the school intends.
- Some pupils have limited knowledge of some aspects of the PSHE curriculum, such as how to maintain an active lifestyle and keep physically and mentally healthy. This leaves them less well prepared for life in modern Britain. The school should ensure that pupils fully understand all aspects of the school's programme for pupils' personal development.
