Welcome
I have been a proud Headteacher of Hampton Vale Primary Academy, Seedlings and Little Seedlings Nursery for the past seven years and I have watched the school grow into an incredibly special place where children truly thrive. Our team of dedicated staff ensure that children are safe, happy and engaged throughout their time with us, and we are immensely proud of the excellent progress they make.
All children within our school and nursery experience a broad and balanced curriculum which stimulates their imagination, extends their knowledge, and nurtures a lifelong love of learning. We are fortunate to have a team of specialist teachers who deliver high-quality lessons in Music, Dance, Drama, PE, Art and Forest School – providing a rich and inspiring curriculum that allows every child to discover and develop their unique talents.
At Hampton Vale, we believe that education is about so much more than academic achievement. It is about developing confident, kind and resilient young people who are ready to take on the challenges of the future and contribute positively to the world around them. I am incredibly proud of our children and all that they achieve every day.
Mrs P. Chamberlain
Headteacher

Our young explorers have been carefully searching for a variety of insects, taking the time to observe the subtle differences between each one they discovered.

Curiosity in the Sunshine! Our Copenhagen class have been embracing Curiosity by making the most of the beautiful weather outdoors with Miss Caswell. Through building dens, exploring different ways to work together in team-building challenges, playing hide and seek, and enjoying music together, the children have been using their imaginations, asking questions and discovering new ways to solve problems. It has been wonderful to see their creativity shine, their teamwork grow, and so many smiles and laughs shared along the way!
