Hampreston CE First School is a small one-form entry school in a rural village setting in Hampreston, near Wimborne in Dorset.
Our school is a true community school with a warmth that permeates our buildings. The family ethos of our school is our great advantage and dovetails perfectly with our Christian distinctiveness. We respect the past and retain some long-standing traditions of this Christian village school, whilst ensuring that every opportunity available in the 21st century is offered to our children with the most up-to-date facilities. We enjoy a close relationship with our local church and the message of the Christian gospel is at the heart of everything we do.
Despite our size, we offer a broad and balanced curriculum, breakfast and after school clubs and a diverse range of activities, including a forest school. Our lovely grounds provide an inspiring setting for outdoor learning and play. Guided by our Christian ethos, we emphasise our Christian Values of Respect and Service, Uniqueness and Creativity, Aspiration and Growth in all aspects of school life. Our commitment to excellence and individual growth, combined with the support of our village community, makes our school a unique and enriching place for learning and to work.
We are proud of our open, approachable leadership team who prioritise staff wellbeing and professional development. We understand the importance of work-life balance and strive to create a working environment that is both purposeful and positive. We invest in our team, offering opportunities for training, mentoring, and career progression.
