Commute to Hampton Boys ( If avoiding coach)

@redrobin75 fines for what?

@mrDoubt from tHampton ( Hampton Infants ) to North Hampton ( Hampton Boys) goes 111

R70 is a bit further on Broad Lane and then turns to The Avenue that is extension of Priory Road

@mrDoubt , the fines nationally are increasing to £80 per child per parent from Sept but it depends if the school actions the fine.

Further afield is also possible.
My son commutes from Wimbledon to Hampton by train and bike. It's doable, and actually better than the school coach option which was always getting snarled up in Kingston traffic - he now gets home earlier.

2000 per year

not sure what you are talking about. The Ofsted report and Parent satisfaction surveys are official and available online
The school newsletters are available online, the governor's letters are sent to all parents. Please do not create conspiracy theories where all is transparent

and btw I said that Hampton Infant and Juniors and Hampton Hill and Carlisle all have been good schools for years. I cannot speak about the future- I don't know it

it is not attitude. It is common sense. Anybody who works for any organisation sticks to its value but if only something goes wrong and they are departing.... they say a completely different story.

So you just thought you'd spread the news to flag the uncertainty, and make prospective parents anxious? That probably says more about you than the school.

What a lovely attitude - thank you for that

Most teachers know Ofsted do not really give an honest picture of any school
I am very sceptical about teachers opinions because every cook praises his own broth.

@Meredusoleil Hampton Juniors was Satisfactory in 2010 since then there were Good and are Good now. Hampton Hill Juniors were Outstanding and now downgraded to Good. The head, deputy head is leaving and head of pastoral already left. Nobody knows what will happen to the school with such changes.

Ofsted has had a new framework since Sept 2019 that is very different to the previous framework, so it's better to describe schools as "regraded" rather than "downgraded" or "upgraded". Schools haven't necessarily changed - the inspection system has.

I wouldn't get hung up on Ofsted grades, go and get a feel for the school. Most teachers know Ofsted do not really give an honest picture of any school. It's an outdated and inaccurate system. It won't mean your child is happier/ better taught in an Ofsted grade outstanding vs a Good.

Hampton Hill Junior School was graded Good in Oct 2023.

@mrDoubt , good luck with the house search and primary school search and for your ds at Hampton School in Sept.

Hampton Infants has been rated outstanding for many years now. Unless they've had a recent Ofsted, the last visit was ages ago!

Hampton Juniors was not downgraded. They were rated good and then aiming for outstanding, but at the latest Ofsted got good with some outstanding features. So maintained the good rating.

Carlisle was rated good last I had heard. But Hampton Hill Juniors was rated outstanding. They may have been downgraded to good since though.

That must be new grading. However it feeds to the Junior school downgraded last year to Good. Unless she thinks about changing schools later

Hampton Infants is now graded Outstanding.

Have you had a chance to look round both options - might help make your mind up as you tend to get a feeling for which ones right for your child.

Hampton Infant school is a feeder to Hampton Juniors ( both are federation)
Carlisle Infant school is a feeder to Hampton Hill Juniors ( both are federation)

Either of them are OK. Hampton Infants is not better than Carlisle Infants and vice versa. Neither are the Junior schools.
How do I know? I know many many parents and my child attended one of them. All these schools were graded as Good and Junior schools were downgraded from Outstanding to Good.

St James Catholics School is an excellent school ...if you are a Catholic and can prove it. I know somebody who transferred her son there from private and interestingly she says that it is much much better.

poeple who like in teddington - is there any shortcuts ( walking , cycling via the park ) to save time. This is for the Ds. The dd will need to use thenbus / train if nothing is available. Also staying in hampton hill is marginally better ( 35 min walk to hampton infant or 20 min bus ride ). Relatively better but not a full game changer

Still, Hampton Hill is much much closer to Hampton Infants than e.g. Sunbury. Also, from Hampton Hill your son can walk to Hampton Boys. There is a Carlisle Infant school where you can consider moving your child for convenience and it is a feeder to Hampton Hill Jrs. Both schools in Hampton Hill and Hampton are equally good

but think its near St. Ignacios School/Church maybe?

correct and then to the Sunbury roundabout
