Strengths
- “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.”
To improve
- “Changes to the teaching of reading have been made in response to the provisional 2024 published outcomes, which were lower than they should be.”
- “However, recent changes to the curriculum mean that some aspects are not being implemented in line with the school’s expectations.”
- “However, on occasion, the activities that pupils complete are not focused sharply enough on the intended learning.”
