Bempton Primary School

Where Learning’s Fun, Purposeful And Challenging

Bempton Primary is a small rural school with around 100 pupils from age 3 to 11. I was appointed as a teaching Head in April 2012 and found a school that had seemed to have lost its way. Prior to taking up the post I was released part time from my school to start building up relationships, assess the situation and begin to implement necessary changes.

Over the previous few years result s had dropped, the Head had retired and an interim Acting Head had covered for 2 terms. The school only had three classrooms and each had mixed key stages. There were two full time teachers and 2 part time teachers covering the large class of 37, Year 4 to 6 children and a high number of Teaching Assistants.
