ATTAINMENT AND ACHIEVEMENT
ATTAINMENT AND PROGRESS
We are very proud of all our children’s achievements and in particular the good progress they make while at West Hampstead Primary School.
Our children achieve very well in the core subjects, however as a school we also make sure that we celebrate achievements in all areas. This may be great progress in PE, an exceptional piece of art work, developing a real talent for music or learning to care for others.
