We currently have spaces available in Years 4, 5, and 6 for September 2024. 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 4 Learning Update- Friday 8th November 2024

Year 4 Learning Update- Friday 8th November 2024

After the rest of half term, Year 4 have arrived back at school ready to learn and have thrown themselves back into all our lessons!

 

In Art we have been completing our Modroc figures by giving them clothes using recycled materials. We were aiming to really show the movement of the characters, as inspired by sculptor Faith Bebbington, and they have turned out fantastically!

 

In English we have begun our new unit “What a Waste” focusing on reusing, reducing and recycling. Hopefully the children will be learning about how pollution affects our world and coming home with tips on how to reduce single plastic use.

 

Our maths topic for the next two weeks will be multiplication and division. We’ll be looking at what happens when you multiply or divide a number by 10 or 100 and also learning methods for short multiplication and division.

 

Finally, we are continuing to practise our brass instruments or ukuleles ready the Year 4 music concerts. 4J will be sharing their progress in ukulele on Wednesday 4th December at 2:40pm and 4R and 4A will be sharing their brass performance on Wednesday 11th December at 2:30pm.

Year 6 Learning Update - Friday 8th November 2024

Year 6 Learning Update - Friday 8th November 2024

Year 6 have settled back to work quickly after their well-earned half term.  This week, we’ve been tying up some loose ends from Autumn 1 and launching into some new things too.  We spent this week’s English lessons brining our Lighthouse-inspired stories to an end, and in guided reading, we’ve started Katherine Rundell’s ‘The Explorer’ – a fantastic story which will inspire our English work for the next few weeks.  Alongside this, we’ve started to explore the rainforest in our geography lessons, leaving the polar regions and the deserts behind.

 

In PE, we’ve started a new unit looking at netball skills, and in computing, we’ve started to look at how google forms can be used to collect maths questions (something we’re familiar with from the other end thanks to our homework tasks!)

 

We’ve got plenty to look forward to this half term, including our rainforest café, some DT and – of course – Christmas.  Keep an eye on your emails over the next week or so – we’ll soon be ready to let you know about this year’s leavers’ hoodies…

A huge thank you to Hannah from PAPAYA (Parents Against Phone Addiction in Young Adolescents) for visiting our Year 6 pupils today! The ‘Me and My Screen’ workshops helped our students explore ways to find a healthy balance with technology.

 

It was a thought-provoking session, aligning beautifully with our PSHE curriculum and supporting our commitment to a Smartphone Free Childhood. 🌱
