Check the area around this school
399th of 425 primary schools in Kent we can score, 460 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.
Its results hold up when the comparison narrows to schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — 1.9/10 against 2,230 of them, against 2.0/10 nationally. So this is not simply a reflection of who attends. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.
How this is worked out
| Measure | Percentile | Weight | Adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expected standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 50.0 · 19 | 62% | 1.17 |
| Higher standard (RWM) 2024/25 | 1.0 · 21 | 38% | 0.82 |
Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

What Ofsted said about Hampton Primary School
Overview
Hampton Primary School is described as a place where "pupils’ well-being is at the heart" of school life, with staff fostering "warm, caring and nurturing" relationships. The report highlights "exceptional" personal development and "outstanding" early years provision, noting that pupils enjoy school and demonstrate positive attitudes towards learning.
Strengths
- Personal development is "exceptional," with pupils building character and leadership skills through roles such as "eco-warrior" and "pupil ambassador."
- Early years provision is "outstanding," with children fully immersed in "purposeful learning and play activities" guided by highly skilled adults.
- Reading is prioritised with a "consistent approach to the teaching of phonics" and high-quality texts, helping pupils become "confident and fluent readers."
- Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are "fully included," with learning adapted effectively and a bespoke "woodland class" for complex needs.
- Staff well-being is valued, with leaders showing "consideration given to their workload and well-being."
Areas to improve
- Some aspects of the curriculum are not implemented in line with expectations, as activities are not always "sharply focused on the intended learning," meaning pupils do not always retain what they have been taught.
- Pupil absence remains "too high," particularly for disadvantaged pupils, preventing them from fully benefiting from the education available.
Safeguarding
The report states that "the arrangements for safeguarding are effective."
