"A Good Foundation"

We're still getting to know the school, but so far, everything has been smooth and welcoming. The facilities are modern, and the staff seem lovely. I'm a bit concerned about the lack of diversity in the playground, but I'm hoping that the school's emphasis on respect and ambition will help to promote a more inclusive atmosphere. We're happy to have our child at Hampreston, but we'll need to see more progress before we can give a full thumbs-up. 2022-06-15

"Excellent School, Excellent Values"

We've only been at Hampreston for a year, but we've already seen huge improvements in our child's confidence and love of learning. The facilities are modern and well-maintained, and the staff are all so friendly and supportive. We're really happy with the emphasis on Christian values and the 'Sticky Question' initiative - it's been great to see our child engaging in deeper conversations about life! 2022-02-15

"A Special School in Every Way"

We were so sad to leave Hampreston when our child moved up to secondary school, but we'll always treasure the memories we made there. The Headteacher, Mrs Palfrey, was so warm and welcoming, and the teachers were all passionate about their subjects. The school's emphasis on community and respect was really impressive, and we felt like we were part of a big, happy family. 2021-09-20
