Hamp Junior School

A warm welcome to Hamp Junior School….

Hamp Junior School is federated with Robert Blake Science College, this means the schools are two separate schools but have one governing body and one Headteacher. Mrs Ann Winter. The schools are able to work together to share expertise, resources and facilities.

Mr Steve Dobson, Deputy Headteacher has leadership of the KS2 curriculum, teaching and learning and pupil progress.

I hope the school prospectus will give you an insight into the ethos and values of our school. Our aim is to ensure all pupils achieve their potential and develop the skills to become confident lifelong learners.

All staff are dedicated to enabling pupils to feel and be safe, enjoy their learning and succeed whilst embracing our core values.

We work in partnership with parents and carers and want you to take an active part in supporting your child’s learning. We encourage parents to have open honest discussions with staff about their child’s successes or any issues they may have. We must work together effectively for the benefits of all children at our school.

I hope you find us a welcoming school, one where you know your child will flourish and realise their potential.

Yours sincerely

Ann Winter

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 will continue to challenge students to achieve high standards.

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

To enable children to develop their full potential in all aspects of school life, particularly literacy, numeracy and social skills;
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.
