Welcome to our school website

At Hampsthwaite, we put happiness, enjoyment and achievement at the centre of everything we do, because in doing this, we are enabling our whole school community to ‘Enjoy, Achieve…Flourish’ during their time with us.

We work incredibly hard to provide a creative, engaging, broad and balanced school curriculum. I hope that our website gives you a little flavour of all the wonderful things that we do day in, day out. We are a busy school and there is always plenty going on, and much to celebrate!

The vision of our school is built firmly on Christian roots and is centred around the Parable of the Mustard Seed (Mark 4: 30-32 – NLT). Our values of ‘Belief’, ‘Respect’, ’Friendship’, ‘Support’ and ‘Creativity’ are embodied not only in our foundation as a Church School, but also in our everyday interactions and activities.  

The excellent work of our school, leadership, staff and children was recognised in our Ofsted Inspection (graded Outstanding in January 2014) and SIAMS Inspection (graded Good in May 2019). We continuously evolve and improve every aspect of school life so that our children are ready to embrace their next stage in learning. We are passionate about what we do.

I feel very proud to able to call myself the Headteacher of Hampsthwaite Primary School as life here thrives due to being built on integrity and our values; we are a caring family, learning and growing together.

I hope you find the information on our website useful and interesting but please do get in touch if you would like to know more about our wonderful school.
