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.
Darren Campbell
Headteacher
A place where excellence, effort and happiness are valued in equal measure.

Year 6 Update - Friday 5th December 2025
With Christmas rapidly approaching, it's been another busy week in Year 6. The Christmas singing trips have started, preparations for Scrooge are now almost complete (for our cast members) and the Christmas Fayre has been and gone.
On a non-Christmasy note, this week saw the Rainforest Cafe take place. The children spent a busy morning making their muffins, and most of the afternoon preparing their smoothies and display materials. It was a lot of work, but it paid off brilliantly when the hall filled with visitors at 2:30. Thanks to everyone who came along to support this event - the Rainforest Cafe is always a highlight of the year when children reflect back on Year 6, and theat wouldn't be the case if it wasn't for the high turnout we always get.
Alongside the cafe, we have finished The Explorer this week - the children have loved reading this book together, and it's really helped us gain insight into our geography work, as well as providing inspiration for our English.
With two weeks to go before Christmas, we have just enough time to squeeze in some SATS practice and a DT unit before we finish with the carol service and take a well-earned break.
Year 3 Learning Update - Friday 28th November 2025
This week in Year 3 has been full of exciting adventures, creativity, and brilliant learning!
Trip to Butser Ancient Farm
As part of our History topic, we visited Butser Ancient Farm. The children explored ancient roundhouses, tried their hand at chalk carving, and learned what life was like in the Stone Age and Iron Age. Everyone loved seeing how people cooked, worked, and lived thousands of years ago. The children asked thoughtful questions and showed wonderful curiosity throughout the day.
Performing as the Rajah and Rani from Cinnamon
Back in school, we stepped into the world of Neil Gaiman’s beautiful story Cinnamon. The children practised performing a speech in the roles of the Rajah and Rani, bringing expression, confidence, and character to their lines. It was brilliant to see how well they used their voices and actions to bring the story to life. We were so proud of their teamwork and enthusiasm.
Hampshire Poster Project
To finish the week, Year 3 got creative by designing colourful posters about things to see in Hampshire. From the New Forest to Winchester Cathedral, the children researched and drew some amazing attractions. Their posters were bright, informative, and wonderfully imaginative — a perfect celebration of our local area!
Year 5 Learning Update - Friday 28th November 2025
Year 5 have had another super fortnight filled with lots of learning!
✏️English
In English, the children have been developing their non-chronological report writing as part of our Space unit. They researched real planets and then used this knowledge to design their own imaginative planets, generating detailed facts to include in their reports.
🔵Maths
In Maths, we’ve been exploring shape and geometry, using key vocabulary to identify, sort and categorise both 2D and 3D shapes. The children have enjoyed investigating properties and making connections between different shapes.
📚Hampshire Book Awards
During Guided Reading, we have been taking part in the Hampshire Book Awards for illustrated picture books. We were provided with a range of beautiful illustrated stories to investigate. The children read a selection of texts, explored the illustrations closely, discussed their thoughts, compared styles and finally voted for their favourite. Some fantastic reasoning and reflections were shared!
🎄We’re looking forward to getting ready for the Christmas season in the coming weeks with lots of events and activities! 🎄
Christmas Festivities Begin at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School!
The festive season is in full swing at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School! It all started on Friday 28th November with our wonderful Christmas Fayre, where families enjoyed stalls, raffles, games, Santa’s Grotto, and a fantastic performance from our school choir. Thank you to everyone who came along and supported this much-loved event.
Today, the excitement continued with our magical Christmas Elfridges Shopping Event. Children had the chance to choose thoughtful gifts for their loved ones, and their joy and care in selecting something special was lovely to see. A huge thank you to our incredible FOBS parent volunteers, whose time and festive spirit made this event possible.
Adding even more cheer, our Young Voices Choir performed at the Jubilee Hall today, delighting the Bishop’s Waltham Country Market audience with their beautiful singing. It was a wonderful showcase of talent and teamwork.
Looking ahead, the celebrations don’t stop here! In the final week of term, our Choir and Drama groups will present their Christmas production of Scrooge, and our school Christmas lunch will take place on Thursday 18th December. Plus, keep an eye out for details of our festive hat competition – a fun way to spread even more Christmas joy!
