This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the last School Census collected by the Department for Education. It is a visualisation of where pupils lived at the time of the annual School Census.

Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.

For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.

This information is provided as a guide only. The criteria in which schools use to allocate places in the event that they are oversubscribed can and do vary between schools and over time. These criteria can include distance from the school and sometimes specific catchment areas but can also include, amongst others, priority for siblings, children of a particular faith or specific feeder schools. Living in an area where children have previously attended a school does not guarantee admission to the school in future years. Always check with the school’s own admission authority for the current admission arrangements.

3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:

  1. Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
  2. Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
  3. On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.

School Description

Pupils at Hampton feel happy and safe. From the early years, pupils’ personal development is given a high priority. Pupils know and understand the school’s values of reflection, enjoyment, aspiration, collaboration, creativity, resilience, risk taking, expectations and independence. ‘Thrive’ days help pupils appreciate the importance of mental health. Pupils learn and play in a safe and secure environment. Staff have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour and engagement in learning. As a result, pupils behave responsibly and calmly in lessons and around school. Pupils say that bullying is rare. They trust staff to sort out any bullying that may occasionally happen. Pupils experience a wide range of extra-curricular activities. They enjoy taking part in the variety of after-school clubs on offer, especially gymnastics. Pupils also enjoy and value leadership responsibilities, such as representing the school as pupil ambassadors. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly pleased with the school. One parent summed up the views of many with the comment: ‘My child is absolutely thriving at Hampton Primary School. The range of learning opportunities is fantastic. The school is playing an excellent part in developing my child as a person.’ What does the school do well and what does it need to do better? Leaders, governors and staff have high aspirations for all pupils. They set the bar high, aiming to help pupils to learn that there are no limits to what they can accomplish. Consequently, pupils achieve well in national tests and assessments in English and mathematics. Pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in a range of subjects. Similarly, they take part in a range of activities outside the school day. All pupils can apply for positions of responsibility, such as school councillors. This includes pupils with SEND who take pride in carrying out these roles and contribute well to the school’s overall success. Teachers benefit from the training that leaders organise for them. They have secure subject knowledge. They use this well to check pupils’ understanding so that they know what pupils can and cannot do. The teaching of phonics is highly effective, both in Reception and key stage 1. Leaders make sure that children in the early years learn to read from the very start. Pupils’ reading books match their knowledge of letters and sounds accurately, enabling them to learn to read successfully. Teachers quickly spot if a child is unsure about the link between any letters and their sounds. When required, highly skilled staff support these children to catch up quickly. Inspection report: Hampton Primary School 10–11 March 2020 2 Leaders foster a love of reading across the school. Teachers read to pupils every day. Pupils experience a range of genres and receive support from the school to access local libraries. Consequently, pupils enjoy reading and read frequently. The curriculum beyond English and mathematics ignites pupils’ interests and encourages them to learn. In science, there is a strong focus on practical work and carrying out exciting, memorable experiments. Newly appointed subject leaders have created plans that help teachers to ensure that pupils build on what they already know and understand. However, subject leaders have not yet had the opportunity to work with teachers to review how pupils learn in their subjects. Pupils’ personal development is exceptional. They trust staff and know they are there to help. Sensibly, leaders take a long-term view of promoting pupils’ social and emotional development. Pupils’ self-esteem and mental health is emphasised strongly. Over time, this has a positive impact on pupils’ well-being and attitudes to learning. Attendance has been a problem for the school in recent years. Leaders have made a concerted effort to address this. They provide support for families and liaise closely with local authorities. As a result, attendance has improved rapidly. However, this work needs to continue so that the attendance of a small minority of pupils improves further. Leadership of the early years is strong. Children get off to a flying start to their education. The learning environment is positively buzzing, full of smiling children, making friends happily and exploring new opportunities. Children relish the rich menu of activities on offer and enjoy talking to adults. Skilled staff are quick to respond to individual interests. For example, one child’s fascination with sea turtles was used to engage them successfully in a science activity. Leaders, including governors, know the school well. They work together effectively to improve the quality of education that pupils receive. Staff are unanimously proud to work at Hampton Primary School, and rightly so. Safeguarding The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. Leaders and governors ensure that the procedures for recruiting staff are robust. Staff are vigilant and well trained in all aspects of safeguarding. They have an indepth knowledge of every pupil. They fulfil their safeguarding duties robustly, challenging external services to provide the support necessary for their pupils and families when required. Leaders have worked hard to make sure that vulnerable pupils are supported well. They have recently introduced a well-being initiative to encourage pupils to share Inspection report: Hampton Primary School 10–11 March 2020 3 any concerns they may have. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe, including when online.
