The Probation Service has just issued a National warning about this game. This is a new recently launched on-line game that gets people to visit real places to collect tokens. There is a national concern that a Probation Office has been identified for people to go to and Sex Offenders have to report to these offices. Please can you ensure that your children are not put at risk through visiting real life locations through this game.
Welcome to Hambridge Primary School and Preschool
Hambridge School is set in the beautiful Somerset Levels, between Langport and Ilminster, with Yeovil and Taunton further afield. We have expansive fields and also share the neighbouring village hall. The school was build originally in 1929, at the time having separate entrances for boys and girls! The original building has been extended and improved with new buildings, but it still retains its original character.

Ethos Statement and Values
:The school's mission statement is 'being the best we can be'. We believe that everyone is truly gifted at something and that our role is to provide as many experiences and opportunites for our children as possible, so that they can find their talents and realise their strengths, leading them to accept their weaknesses and be prepared to work at them.
Our school ethos is quite simple...based upon the acronym of HAMBRIDGE, so that it is easy for all of the school community to remember. It was rewritten in late 2004 by all of the school community:

A Classroom Outside of the Classroom

Education has changed since the school’s beginning; we are very proud of our inclusive and broad curriculum. Our children achieve very well, as our data shows, but we see children’s education as much more than purely academic. We run extensive off-site trips, Skype sessions to a school in Lesotho, hold charity events and community cooking clubs. We also run Hambridge University – our weekly small group sessions in Life Skills.
The school also invests strongly in staff, so that we can support the needs of all pupils, whatever the may be. And while we support children in their educational and emotional needs, we also instil in pupils the life skills of self reliability, independence and responsibility, as well as team-work. We are also proud of our sporting achievements. Our school teams perform well locally and regionally in basketball, cross country, netball and football, amongst others. Also, we have a thriving music department, including strong and successful choirs, as well as music lessons in keyboard, flute, drumming and other instruments.To support all this we also offer childcare between 8.00 and 5.30 every school day. Children are also encouraged to attend our broad range of after school clubs. |
School Classes
The school is currently arranged in 5 classes. Key Stage 1 consists of Class 1 (Reception and Year 1) and Class 2 (Years 1 and 2). Key Stage 2 is arranged into Class 3 (Years 3 and 4) Class 4 (Years 4 and 5) and Class 5 (Year 6)
Additionally there is some flexibility in Numeracy lessons, with some children visiting other classes for the numeracy lessons, with an additional numeracy class for some year 6 pupils. We find that this approach works well in progressing children of all abilities at their own pace.
