Pupils embody the school’s value of being the ‘best we can be’. Their learning is important to them, and they feel safe to strive to achieve well in school. All pupils, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from being fully included in school life. They have warm relationships with staff and trust that the adults in school want what is best for them. Pupils thrive because of the high ambitions that radiate throughout the school. Their resilience and confidence underpin the positive learning behaviours that they have. (OFSTED Jan 23)

The support that comes from being part of a fantastic team “The team at Bampton are amazing. I have only been here since September following a career change and I can honestly say that I have never worked within a more united, collaborative and effective team.” (Teacher)

Intrinsic rewards and job satisfaction “The children can really make your day when you feel you are helping with something they find tricky. Watching them growing up each school year is a real privilege.” “I love sharing those moments with the children when they overcome something that has been challenging for them. Seeing the joy, wonder, and amazement, the pride and self-belief when a child achieves something new for the first time and feeling privileged to share those moments. To be a small part of their journey at Bampton school and make a difference to them.” (teaching partners KS1)
