About Hampreston Church of England Voluntary Aided First School

Hampreston Church of England Voluntary Aided First School holds an Outstanding rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across both its most recent inspections. The school was last inspected in 2013, when inspectors awarded top marks for overall effectiveness, leadership and management, and early years provision. With just 135 pupils on roll against a capacity of 150, this is a small, close-knit first school serving children aged five to nine in Dorset. The most telling academic metric available is the local authority’s average Key Stage 2 score of 56, which provides a benchmark for how primary pupils in the area typically perform. While Hampreston’s own KS2 results are not published in this data, the school’s sustained Outstanding rating suggests strong outcomes. It is one of only three schools in Dorset’s 119 primary-phase institutions to hold that top Ofsted grade, placing it in a very select group.
