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.

Year 3 Learning Update - Friday 12th December 2025

Year 3 Learning Update - Friday 12th December 2025

What a fantastic week it has been in Year 3!

 

In DT, the children have been busy creating moving pictures. They learned how different mechanisms work—such as sliders and levers—and used them to design imaginative scenes that come to life with movement. 

 

In Maths, we began exploring equivalent fractions. The children used fraction walls, practical equipment, and visual representations to spot patterns and understand how different fractions can represent the same value. It’s been brilliant to see their confidence grow with this new concept.

 

Our class story has been How Winston Delivered Christmas, and Year 3 have loved following Winston’s magical journey. We’ve enjoyed talking about the characters, predicting what might happen next, and discussing the themes of kindness and courage.

 

In PSHE, we have been learning all about healthy lifestyles. Year 3 thought carefully about what our bodies need to stay healthy—exercise, sleep, hydration, and a balanced diet. They also reflected on small, achievable changes they can make in their everyday lives.

 

Finally, we had a wonderful time watching the Infant School Christmas Play. The children were full of smiles and festive cheer as they enjoyed the songs, costumes, and performances. It was a lovely way to get into the Christmas spirit!

 

Well done for another brilliant week, Year 3! 🎄✨

Young Voices - Ridgmede Carehome - Wednesday 10th December 2025

Today, many members of the Young Voices choir ventured out into the local community to once again spread some Christmas joy with their singing!

30 children visited Ridgemede Carehome. They brought their beautiful voices and Christmas spirit to share with the residents. We sang a range of classic Christmas songs and read a few Christmas poems. Our audience joined in gleefully with our singing and gave the children such a warm welcome. We also had the pleasure of singing Happy Birthday to an amazing resident named Polly who was celebrating her 107th Birthday!

A huge thankyou to the Year 5s and 6s who attended today. As always, you were a credit to our school.

Noah’s Incredible Artistic Talent

Noah’s Incredible Artistic Talent

At Bishop’s Waltham Junior School, we love celebrating the amazing achievements of our pupils – both in and out of school. Today, we’re shining a spotlight on Noah (Year 5), whose artistic talent is nothing short of extraordinary.

 

Noah has an incredible ability to create stunning artwork across a range of styles and mediums. His recent projects showcase not only his creativity but also his dedication and passion for art. 

 

What’s even more remarkable is Noah’s latest project – a complete transformation of one of the rooms at home! Using spray paint, Noah has turned an ordinary space into a vibrant, festive, artistic environment that reflects his unique vision and skill. This kind of creativity and confidence in experimenting with different techniques is inspiring to see.

 

We are so proud of Noah and thrilled to celebrate his achievements. It’s wonderful to see our pupils pursuing their passions beyond the classroom and sharing their talents with the world.

 

Well done, Noah – keep creating and inspiring us all!

Year 5 Learning Update - Friday 12th December 2025

Year 5 Learning Update – Friday 12th December 2025

 

Year 5 have had another busy and productive fortnigh as we continue to count down the days until Christmas.

 

📖English

In English, the children have been exploring poetry with a focus on Christmas and winter-themed poems. They have practised analysing poetic features, discussed their opinions and developed well-rounded performances for a range of poetry. It was great to see so many children confidently reading aloud while sharing their interpretations of rhythm, imagery and meaning.

 

🕒Maths

In Maths, we have been continuing our Time unit. The children have been learning to tell the time, read timetables and solve a variety of time-based problems, applying their knowledge in practical ways. As with most skills, daily practice will be the key to further strengthen everyone's time-telling fluency!

 

🔨Design & Technology

In DT, we have started a new unit on mechanisms, preparing for our moving sculpture work next week. The children are exploring how different mechanisms work and how they can incorporate these into their designs.

 

Despite the busy run-up to Christmas, the children have remained focused and hardworking. We are looking forward to lots of festive events in our final week of this term, including: Christmas Dress Up Day, Christmas Lunch, Choir and Drama’s Christmas Production and our Carol Concert!

 

A huge well done to Year 5 for all their effort this term. Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄✨
