About us
At Hampreston First School, the children are at the heart of everything we do. The five years that they spend with us are precious and special, and it is an honour for us to be the start of their educational Learning Journey.
We want our children to develop as confident individuals who are able to live a safe, healthy and happy life. We want our children to make a positive contribution to their community and develop a sense of belonging and responsibility. We want them to be proud of everything that they do, enabling them to become valuable citizens of our society.
We are committed to fostering a love of learning by providing a curriculum that is rooted in a desire to bring out the best in all of our children, preparing them for success in life. We aspire to walk together in hope along the Hampreston pathway, guided by our Christian Values of Respect and Service, Uniqueness and Creativity, Aspiration and Growth.
We respect the past and retain some long-standing traditions of this Christian village school, whilst ensuring that every opportunity available in the 21st century is offered to our children with the most up-to-date facilities. We enjoy a close relationship with our local church and the message of the Christian gospel is at the heart of everything we do. We build close relationships with the children and adults in our school community and recognise that every child is a unique and precious individual.

Values
As a church school, we aim to nurture the spiritual, cultural, moral and social development of the children and to foster mutual respect and responsibility. We are a high achieving school, but also an inclusive school, taking pride in the progress of every child, whatever their level of ability.
We aspire to walk together in hope along the Hampreston pathway, guided by our Christian Values of Respect and Service, Uniqueness and Creativity, Aspiration and Service. We strive to enable children to use their educational keys to open doors and unlock their full potential, regardless of their starting points. We aim to look through windows into the wider world and reflect upon the big questions of life by looking at ourselves in the mirror. We seek to develop global citizens who are ready for the challenges of a fast-paced, evolving society.
“Ask, and you will receive. Search, and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened for you.” Matthew 7:7-8
Windows:
These are opportunities to look out on the world to gaze in wonder. These are the WOW and HOW moments. These are the things that inspire us and motivate us to be better people.
Encounter: The learning about Life
Mirrors:
These are opportunities for children to reflect, to look inward and to consider some of the big questions of life. These provide opportunities to explore their own insights and those of others.
Reflection: The learning from.
Doors:
These are the opportunities for children to respond, to creatively express their thoughts and convictions. These are the opportunities for children to move on and reflect.
Transformation: The learning to live by putting into action what they believe.
