iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).At Hamp Nursery and Infants School, our school motto embodies all that we do. Every child matters to us. It is our intention to ensure that every one of our pupils leaves our school equipped for their next steps in their lives.
It is our aim that we help our pupils become responsible and considerate citizens, fully embracing British Values and growing to take an active role in providing safe and secure environments for all. We value and teach our children to value other people's differences, to value the environment and help to be responsible and care for it.
We reduce, reuse and recycle, and we teach the children that "small people can make big differences". Our approach is one which embodies the whole child, and this is reflected in our curriculum and the way in which we plan and teach. All classes and Nurseries have outdoor space, and access to our Forest School area.
Our early years rooms all have their own outdoor spaces for continuous provision activities, and our children help to develop and maintain their environment, including projects such as building their own greenhouse, making and planting raised beds to "grow their own" and creating lovely art pieces to decorate their gardens for all to share and enjoy.
