Hamp Junior School

Welcome to our website. We hope that you enjoy finding out about our school and looking at some of the visits and projects undertaken by the children.

I am pleased to have an opportunity to talk to you through the School website. As well as outlining information about the school, how it operates on a day-to-day basis, it also gives us a chance to explain our values and principles and how we place the child at the heart of our activities. I hope you find this website helpful.

The website has been designed to appeal to both children and adults, parents and prospective parents as well as those who care about our school. The website will be kept up to date with the latest newsletters, key documents like our prospectus, letters home regarding school visits and class activities. There will be lots of photos showing school projects and visits and some of our regular events such as the summer prom.

We hope that you will visit the website frequently and share the taste of school life that it describes.

The Aims of Our School

We are committed to providing a safe, caring, happy and well ordered learning environment where everyone's contribution is valued, and all members of our school community are provided with the opportunity to develop and achieve their full potential.

The school is committed to providing a broad, balanced and relevant curriculum, where all our children have equal access and individual needs are met. We aim for the highest standards in education.

The following aims were agreed after discussion and consultation with children, staff, governors and parents. We aim:

To enable children to develop their potential in all aspects of school life;
To help children to develop lively and enquiring minds; the ability to question and reason rationally;
To develop in children self-discipline, self-motivation, independence and confidence;
To develop the essential skills of oracy, literacy and numeracy in our children and to use these skills in intellectual, imaginative and creative contexts;
To encourage children to persevere with tasks and physical skills;
To encourage in children caring attitudes, thoughtfulness, respect and understanding for others;
To give children an appreciation of beauty and develop a spiritual awareness;
To develop in children a sense of responsibility for their immediate environment and the world in which they live;
To develop in children a love of learning, which will continue in their future lives. When possible, the child's curriculum will stem from first hand experiences.
To provide the necessary tools of learning within the limits of a well managed budget;
To encourage and welcome parents into our school so they share their children's education in partnership with us.
