Welcome
I have been a proud Headteacher of Hampton Vale Primary Academy, Seedlings and Little Seedlings Nursery for the past seven years and I have watched the school grow into an incredibly special place where children truly thrive. Our team of dedicated staff ensure that children are safe, happy and engaged throughout their time with us, and we are immensely proud of the excellent progress they make.
All children within our school and nursery experience a broad and balanced curriculum which stimulates their imagination, extends their knowledge, and nurtures a lifelong love of learning. We are fortunate to have a team of specialist teachers who deliver high-quality lessons in Music, Dance, Drama, PE, Art and Forest School – providing a rich and inspiring curriculum that allows every child to discover and develop their unique talents.
At Hampton Vale, we believe that education is about so much more than academic achievement. It is about developing confident, kind and resilient young people who are ready to take on the challenges of the future and contribute positively to the world around them. I am incredibly proud of our children and all that they achieve every day.
Mrs P. Chamberlain
Headteacher

Year 1 Sea Life Adventure! This week, our Year 1 children enjoyed a fantastic trip to the Sea Life Centre in Hunstanton! The children were excited to explore the different exhibits and discover a wide variety of amazing sea creatures, including sharks, rays, seahorses and colourful tropical fish. Throughout the day, the children were a credit to our school. They demonstrated excellent behaviour, listened carefully, asked thoughtful questions and showed great enthusiasm as they learned about life under the sea. We are incredibly proud of all the children for the way they represented our school and embraced this wonderful learning experience. Well done, Year 1! #Year1 #SchoolTrip #SeaLifeCentre #Hunstanton #ProudSchool #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #UnderTheSea #PrimarySchoolAdventures

Courage in Action! The second morning of our residential got off to an exciting start with a range of challenge activities, including the Vertical Challenge, Buggy Building, and the Trapeze. Every child showed incredible courage, stepping outside their comfort zones, facing fears, and giving their very best. Whether it was climbing higher than they thought possible, trusting their team, or taking that leap of faith, they demonstrated resilience, determination, and bravery throughout. We are so proud of each and every one of them for embracing new experiences and proving that courage isn't about not being scaredit's about being brave enough to try anyway. #Courage #ResidentialAdventure #BuildingConfidence #ChallengeYourself #ProudMoments #Teamwork #OutdoorLearning #GrowthMindset

Finding Constancy Around the Campfire The first evening of residential was filled with campfire songs, toasted marshmallows, and plenty of smiles. These simple traditions remind us of the importance of constancy – creating a sense of belonging, connection, and shared experiences that young people can rely on throughout their journey. #Constancy #ResidentialAdventure #BuildingBelonging

Stepping out of comfort zones with courage! During Residential, participants took part in a range of team-building and problem-solving activities that challenged them to think creatively, communicate effectively, and work together under pressure. It took courage to share ideas, take risks, and persevere when solutions weren't immediately obvious. By supporting one another and embracing each challenge, they demonstrated how courage helps us grow, overcome obstacles, and achieve more together. #Residential #Courage #Teamwork #ChallengeAccepted #GrowthMindset #ProblemSolving #WorkingTogether

Building Confidence, One Paddle at a Time What better way to start our residential than out on the water? As our groups took to the canoes, they were building skills, supporting one another, and growing in confidence with every paddle stroke. A fantastic start, filled with teamwork, determination, and plenty of smiles. We can't wait to see what the rest of the adventure brings! #Confidence #OutdoorLearning #ResidentialAdventure #Teamwork #PersonalGrowth
