24th of 72 primary schools in Herefordshire, County of we can score, 78 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Narrow the comparison to the 4,250 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 6.0/10 among them, against 6.5/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

What Ofsted said about Hampton Dene Primary School
Overview
Hampton Dene Primary School continues to be a good school, described as a "happy and inclusive" environment where every pupil is "nurtured and valued." The inspection confirms that the school’s motto of ‘One School Cherishing All’ is fully realised, with staff maintaining high expectations for pupils’ social, emotional, and academic achievements.
Strengths
- Teachers use "in-depth knowledge of each pupil" to tailor learning, ensuring those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) access the same work as their peers.
- The curriculum is "well structured and progressive," with key vocabulary featuring strongly and tasks modelled clearly to ensure no time is wasted.
- Pupils conduct themselves in an "exemplary" manner, learning to behave well from early years and showing respect and consideration towards one another.
- Staff foster a "love of books and reading," using a phonics curriculum consistently and expertly to help pupils catch up quickly if they fall behind.
- The school provides a "rich and extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities," including activities specifically for pupils with SEND, such as horse-riding and cheerleading.
Areas to improve
- Targets for pupils with mild learning difficulties are "too broad and lack precision," failing to identify the small steps needed for success or how progress will be assessed.
- Pupils’ understanding of "fundamental British values" and beliefs held by those from different faiths is at an "early stage," meaning they are not as well prepared for life in modern Britain as they could be.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
