About Hamp Nursery and Infants' School

Hamp Nursery and Infants' School serves children from age 2 to 7 in Somerset, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated it Good overall, with leadership and management also judged Good. This puts the school in solid standing within the local authority, where only 6 out of 219 primary schools have achieved an Outstanding rating. The school's progress in recent years is notable: its previous graded inspection in 2013 found it Requires Improvement, so the jump to Good represents a meaningful turnaround. However, the data does not include a Progress 8 score or KS2 SATs results for this school, which makes a direct comparison against the local authority average of 59 for KS2 impossible. Given that Hamp is an infants' school taking children only up to Year 2, it does not participate in the standard KS2 assessments that most primary schools do, so parents should be aware that headline metrics for older primary pupils simply don't apply here.
