I am thrilled to welcome you to the Hambridge School website. Within these pages you will get a taste of our wonderful school.
At Hambridge Primary School we have a dedicated team of people who work hard to ensure the very best for every single pupil. We believe that quality education is achieved through creating a rich and varied curriculum that engages and excites our pupils. We inspire our pupils to become lifelong learners who excel within the curriculum and through other extended schools opportunities. Sharon Chapman Headteacher |

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 opportunities 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. |
