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 โ€˜be the best that they can beโ€™. 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 Bishopโ€™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 childrenโ€™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 Bishopโ€™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.

What a Night!

On Thursday 22nd January 2026, the BWJS Young Voices Choir had a fantastic day at the O2 Arena in London.

 

After a smooth journey on the coach, we sat by the river to enjoy a picnic lunch before heading inside to find our seats. Once inside, the sheer scale of the arena was breathtaking, and we had a brilliant view of the stage below.

 

Rehearsals began at 2:30pm, and at 3pm a live singalong was recorded and broadcast to children in a multitude of different countries, including Canada, Germany and the USA. We were treated to a number of special guests during the rehearsal session, including a West End star and a winner from the singing competition The Voice. It was all incredibly exciting and really helped everyone warm up for the main event.

 

After a dinner break at 5pm, we prepared for the concert alongside nearly 9,000 other children. As the audience started to arrive, the buzz in the arena grew quickly. The roar when the stage lights burst into life was unbelievable! We sang our hearts out and danced at every opportunity. It truly was a night to remember.

 

We want to say a huge thank you to the children, who were an absolute pleasure to take on the trip, and to the parents who came along to watch. It has been another wonderful year of Young Voices singing, and we hope the experience has given the children memories to last a lifetime.

Year 5 Learning Update - Friday 23rd January 2026

 

English & Guided Reading ๐Ÿ“–๐Ÿ“

We have started our new class text, Rooftoppers, and the children are already enjoying following the adventures of Sophie and Charles. Through both English and Guided Reading, we have been working through the text, exploring characters and discussing their thoughts, feelings and motivations. As we continue reading, the children will be writing diary entries and persuasive letters linked to the story.

 

Maths ๐Ÿšฐ

In Maths, we have been finishing our work on measures, focusing on millilitres and litres. The children have been practising converting between units and applying their understanding to a range of problems.

 

PE ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Our gymnastics unit continues in PE. This week, the children have been working on partner balances, introducing some rolls, and exploring smooth transitions between shapes, balances and holds. They are beginning to combine these skills to create group routines.

 

Geography๐Ÿฅ

In Geography, we have been learning about La Plagne, France and making comparisons with Bishopโ€™s Waltham. We made links between our topics when we produced some exciting persuasive adverts for a French holiday in English. The children have been developing their map-reading skills, identifying features using six-figure grid references.

 


Well done, Year 5, for another week of focused learning and great teamwork!

Year 3 Weekly Update: Mountains, Machines, and Minutes!
Weโ€™ve had a fantastic week of learning in Year 3. Here is a quick look at what weโ€™ve been up to:
 
  • Maths: We have been mastering telling the time! The children practiced telling the time to the nearest 5 and 1 minute, and began the challenge of converting between 12-hour and 24-hour formats including time word problems.

 

  • English: We launched our new text, The Iron Man. Weโ€™ve been exploring the world of recounts and using time conjunctions to order events.

 

  • Geography: Our focus has continued to Nepal. Weโ€™ve been identifying its unique geographical features, including its world-famous mountain ranges.

 

  • PE: In gymnastics, we took our 5 core balances and worked hard to transition them into a fluid, controlled sequence in pairs.

 

  • Computing: We began a new unit using Paint to digitally edit and transform our own photographs.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!
