Hampton Infant School and Nursery

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 November 2023

Pupils thrive in this nurturing and supportive school. They benefit from positive and respectful relationships with adults and other pupils. This starts in the early years, where children learn to play well together. These strong foundations, together with clear and consistent expectations, mean that pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Pupils enjoy receiving 'Bee' rewards. These are awarded to celebrate the school's values, such as resilience or inclusivity. The school develops pupils' knowledge and confidence through a rich curriculum and thoughtfully planned wider experiences. Pupils excel in all aspects of their learning. This is because the school has very high academic ambitions for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are rightly very proud of the work that they produce in different subjects. They are exceptionally well prepared for the next stage of their education. The school promotes responsibility and independence in pupils, starting from early years. For example, pupils represent their peers as part of the school council. Pupils' ideas have driven changes within the school, such as establishing different zones for activities in the playground. Pupils take these responsibilities seriously because they know that their ideas are listened to. Through this, pupils learn to understand the importance of democracy and how it works.
