What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils' well-being is at the heart of Hampton Primary. Each aspect of school life is designed around pupils' social and emotional development. Staff know the pupils very well. Relationships are warm, caring and nurturing. Pupils enjoy school. Bullying is rare, and if it does happen, pupils trust the adults to sort it out. Pupils' behaviour and conduct are guided by the school's core values of kindness, resilience, reflection and aspiration. Pupils are polite and respectful. In the early years and in lessons, they are engaged and focused. They have positive attitudes to their learning. This supports pupils to achieve the school's high expectations for their learning. The provision for pupils' personal development is exceptional. The school's work on mental health enables pupils to recognise and manage their emotions and feelings. Pupils build their character and leadership skills through the varied roles of responsibility available. These include being an eco-warrior, part of the school council or sports crew, a play ranger or a pupil ambassador. The wide range of extra-curricular clubs, trips and visitors enrich pupils' learning. Becoming a positive citizen of society is promoted through activities such as charity work, litter picking on the local beach, enterprise events and singing in the local care home.
What the school should improve
- Some aspects of the curriculum are not being implemented in line with leaders' expectations. Sometimes, the activities that pupils complete are not sharply focused on the intended learning. The school should ensure that subject leaders have greater oversight of the implementation and impact of the curriculum to make sure they are in line with expectations.
- Pupil absence remains high, particularly for disadvantaged pupils. These pupils are not fully benefiting from the education available. The school should continue to work with pupils and their families so that any barriers to attendance are overcome.
