Welcome to Bathampton Primary School

Our school is a warm and friendly primary school set in the idyllic village of Bathampton. We are the only Community, non-faith based, primary school to the east of Bath.

We have a well-deserved reputation for high quality teaching and learning, which ensures that our children are happy and inquisitive. Our rich curriculum provides opportunities for all our pupils to succeed and we are committed to both the academic rigour and the adventurous learning experiences that mean our pupils grow into independent, confident learners.

We came together as a community in 2019 to agree our vision and our core values which are respect, curiosity, creativity, kindness, resilience and teamwork. We are passionate that these values run through everything we do and that learning at Bathampton is an adventure from which children leave as well rounded individuals, aspiring to be the best that they can be.

Our children love that we make creative use of our extensive outdoor space, including woods used for forest school and at playtime. As part of the Bath Conservation Area we have the Kennet and Avon canal on our doorstep, are a flat 10-minute cycle from Bath city centre and are on the edge of meadows recently adopted by the National Trust. 

School Vision

Our vision and values are at the core of everything we do. They underpin our teaching and learning, and create the environment in which our pupils thrive.

At Bathampton Primary School our vision is for our children and staff to be adventurous learners. Our friendly and inclusive learning environment nurtures self-belief and enhances potential.

As a community our core values are:

Respect – for everyone and everything
Curiosity – for life-long learning
Creativity – for fun and memorable experiences
Kindness – so everyone feels safe and welcome
Resilience – we never give up
Teamwork – working together in a supportive environment

We aspire to be the best in all we do, as we are…

Together on a Learning Adventure

Our journey to articulate our school vision

Staff and governors collated a range of views which included those of pupils, parents, staff and governors to create our school vision and values. We spent a morning sharing the variety of thoughts and comments and, together as a group, articulated our school vision, which we are very proud of.
