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

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!

Year 1 Sea Life Adventure! This week, our Year 1 children enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Sea Life Centre in Hunstanton! The children were excited to explore the different exhibits and discover a wide variety of amazing sea creatures, including sharks, rays, seahorses and colourful tropical fish. Throughout the day, the children were a credit to our school. They demonstrated excellent behaviour, listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions and showed great enthusiasm as they learned about life under the sea. We are incredibly proud of all the children for the way they represented our school and embraced this wonderful learning experience. Well done, Year 1! #Year1 #SchoolTrip #SeaLifeCentre #Hunstanton #ProudSchool #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #UnderTheSea #PrimarySchoolAdventures

Today, we finished our adventure with some exciting orienteering and ziplining, and what a fantastic way to end an unforgettable trip!

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them for their enthusiasm, resilience, and positive attitude throughout the week.
