Introduction from Ms Shi

I’m excited to have joined Hambrook Primary School as Teaching Assistant, Attendance Lead, Senior Lunchbreak Supervisor and Family Link.  With previous experience in education and passion for supporting students and families, I am committed to create an inclusive, engaging and nurturing learning environment where everyone can thrive.

In my capacity as a Family Link, I serve as a bridge between the school and families, fostering strong relationships and ensuring that parents feel supported and informed. I offer guidance and resources to families facing challenges related to their child’s education and help families navigate school systems and access support agencies.

I am dedicated to ensuring student’s best interest at the fore front of my roles at school. I am looking forward to engaging with the Hambrook School community and working with parents to help our students shine!

If you would like to get in touch with me to arrange a conversation, please contact me via school email at office@hambrookprimary.org.uk marked for my attention. I will be on the gate every Thursday afternoon if you would like to meet me or ask any questions.  I look forward to meeting you all!

Thank you to our wonderful PTA for the fantastic Christmas Fayre! Our children had so much fun and important funds were raised to support our school. Thank you to all our families who attended and gave generously at this and the other PTA events.

Meditation Lessons

At Hambrook Primary School we are deeply committed to the wellbeing of our children. One way we seek to improve our children's wellbeing and lifelong welling is through our meditation lessons. We are extremely lucky at Hambrook to have Mrs. Bassett-Lowe as our meditation teacher. Mrs Bassett-Lowe visits us every Wednesday afternoon to teach meditation across the school.

Healthy school

A polite reminder about breaktime snacks. As a healthy school we only allow fruit, vegetable or other healthy snacks at breaktime e.g. cheese and crackers. We do not allow crisps, chocolate, sweets or nuts. Thank you for your support. 

Safe Parking

Please can we ask all parents/carers to take care when driving around our school and park safely. Please use parking around the common and walk to the school gates, dropping off children by our gates is dangerous and puts our children at risk.
