We currently have spaces available in Years 4 & 5. Our school features a 20m indoor heated pool, offering weekly swimming lessons for pupils. We provide full wraparound care on-site and offer approximately 20 extra-curricular clubs each term. If you would like to visit the school, please contact us.

Welcome to our school website!

At our school each child is valued and their unique set of skills and talents developed so that they can ‘be the best that they can be’. Our belief is that learning should be exciting and engaging. We want every child to leave our school ready for the next stage in their education and with a real appetite for learning.

We have high aspirations for every child that attends our school and a strong track record of achieving academic success. Equally, we ensure children at Bishop’s Waltham Junior are able to explore their full range of talents and interests.

Alongside a stimulating and varied curriculum, we offer a range of sporting, musical and artistic enrichment activities including successful sports clubs, drama productions and music concerts.

We place great emphasis on developing children’s personal skills and believe in the importance of developing kind, caring and respectful individuals. Behaviour in our school is very good and we offer children high quality care and pastoral support. We have strong systems in place to support children with additional learning needs and have a fully qualified Special Needs Co-ordinator on the staff team.

I am incredibly proud to be the Headteacher of Bishop’s Waltham Junior School and of the children and staff who contribute so much to the life of the school.

If you would like to find out more about the school or to arrange a visit please do not hesitate to contact us.

Friday 24th October 2025 - Year 3 Learning Update

We've had a fantastic week in Year 3, packed with learning, creativity, and lots of fun activities. Here’s a little peek at what we’ve been up to:

💷 Maths Magic – Adding and Subtracting Money

This week in Maths, we’ve been working hard on adding and subtracting amounts of money. We’ve been using coins to help us solve problems like finding the change from ÂĢ1 or working out how much we’d spend on two items at a shop. 

✖ïļ Times Table Champions – Learning the 2 Times Table

In our multiplication lessons, we've been focusing on the 2 times table. We’ve sung songs and played games to help us. Everyone is becoming much more confident with counting in twos and solving problems using multiplication.

🍁 Autumn Poetry – Words from the Season

With the leaves turning golden and the air getting cooler, we used our senses to inspire our writing. We created beautiful autumn poems, full of colourful language and descriptive phrases. 

ðŸĶī Time Travellers – Prehistoric Tourist Posters

In History, we’ve travelled WAY back in time to prehistoric Britain. We imagined what it would be like to visit the Stone Age and created fantastic tourist posters to show off what you might see and do. There were caves to explore, fires to light, and even woolly mammoths to spot! 

ðŸŽū PE – Smashing Tennis Skills

In PE, we finished our tennis lessons this week. We’ve learned how to hold a racket properly, hit the ball with control, and even rally with a partner. Everyone has improved so much, and we finished with some mini games – what a great way to end our tennis unit!

We’ve had a super week full of learning and laughter. Well done, Year 3 – keep up the brilliant work!

Friday 24th October 2025 - Year 5 Learning Update

Year 5 Learning Update

📖 English

We have now finished reading Friend or Foe by Michael Morpurgo. The children wrote excellent story summaries and thoughtful evaluations of the text, sharing their opinions about the characters, key events, and themes. It’s been lovely to see how invested the children have been with the story during our whole class reading.

â›ī History

Our Titanic topic came to an end this week. The class explored what could have been done to ensure more lives were saved during the Titanic catastophe. Their discussions were insightful and well-reasoned, showing a deep understanding of this historical event and its significance.

ðŸŽĻ Art

In Art, the children started to create their stunning Titanic-inspired collages. They experimented with mark making using ink and explored light and dark to create dramatic effects. We are looking forward to displaying these pieces in our sharing assembly.

🧠 Let’s Think

During our Let’s Think sessions, the children worked collaboratively, discussing ideas inspired by the picture books The Conquerors and The Enemy. These stories prompted thoughtful questioning and wonderful conversations about invasion, differences and understanding others.

It has been a busy start to the new school year; we are so proud of everything Year 5 have achieved so far. Have a fantastic and restful half term break!
