* How good is the overall personal development and well-being of the learners?
* How well do the curriculum and other activities meet the range of needs and interests of learners?
* How well are learners cared for, guided and supported? [http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/reports/pdf/?inspectionNumber=281279&providerCategoryID=4096&fileName=\school\122\s5_122493_20060612.pdf "Hempshill Hall Primary School"] , Ofsted, 12 June 2006]

The school is highly unusual for a British primary school in that it teaches Spanish. [ [http://www.seycc.gob.mx/hablame/english/hempshill.htm "Hempshill Hall Primary School"] , Proyecto 'Hablame' Mundi, Gobierno del Estado de Coahuila, "accessed 22 December 2007"]
