We currently have spaces available in Year 5 & 6. 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!

Welcome to Bishop’s Waltham Junior School. I am incredibly proud to lead a school where children are encouraged to enjoy, learn and achieve together each and every day. Our aim is simple: to help every child become the very best version of themselves — academically, personally and socially. 

At Bishop’s Waltham Junior, learning is designed to be engaging, challenging and full of opportunities to spark curiosity. We set high expectations for all pupils and have a strong track record of helping them achieve impressive academic outcomes, while also recognising and nurturing the full range of talents they bring. 

We are committed to developing well-rounded individuals who are kind, confident and respectful. Behaviour across the school is very good, and our dedicated staff team provides high-quality pastoral support alongside excellent teaching. Children with additional needs are supported through robust systems and the expertise of our qualified SENDCO, ensuring that every learner is valued and included. 

Beyond the classroom, pupils enjoy a rich selection of enrichment opportunities, including weekly swimming lessons in our on-site heated pool and an exciting programme of sporting, musical and creative activities. These experiences help our children build resilience, discover new interests and learn more about themselves as developing young citizens. 

It is a privilege to work with such enthusiastic pupils, dedicated staff and supportive families. If you would like to know more about life at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School or arrange a visit, please do get in touch — we would be delighted to welcome you.

Mrs Jo Milne – Class Teacher & Art Subject Leader

 

At the end of this academic year, we will be saying goodbye to Mrs Jo Milne, who will be leaving Bishop’s Waltham Junior School after 21 years to focus on her art business full-time.

 

Mrs Milne has been an amazing all-round teacher and an inspirational Art Subject Leader, bringing creativity, passion and enthusiasm to everything she does.

Friday 12th June 2026 - Year 6 Update

We're two weeks into the second half of the summer term, and what a two weeks it's been!

 

Last week, we had a visit from the Hampshire moderation team to look at our writing.  Year 6 put a huge amount of work into preparing for this in the week after SATS and on the first few days back, generating, editing and presenting work in their English books in order to best show off their skills. It was all worth it - our moderation visit was a great success with the team thoroughly happy with everything they saw.

 

Our other major development over the last few weeks has been the beginning of our production prep. We ran our auditions for Ye-Ha during SATS week and we were able to give out parts just before half term.  Over the last two weeks, we've been starting to bring the performance to life on stage.  We have a lot to do in the sixteen school days between now and our first dress rehearsal (!!) but we're enjoying seeing what the children are bringing to their parts so far.  Information about tickets will be released soon.

 

Alongside our English and our production work, the children have been taking part in this year's whole-school art project, producing portraits in a range of styles.  They've also started a six-week cricket programme kindly offered to us by Active360, a nice treat for the end of each week.

Our last half term in Year 4, where has the time went! We have still have so much to do and so many exciting activities to participate in.

 

Art

We’ve had a double dose of art over the last couple weeks. Firstly, we completed our Portrait project. Our final piece was inspired by the work of Naomi Vonda. Her work uses elements of Pop Art, Surrealism and Dadaism, some of which we incorporated into our own work. You will soon have some fantastic portraits to hang proudly in your homes! Following that we’ve been engrossed in Printing. This unit of work is a favourite with the children. We investigated various types of printing and artists that use different printing techniques.

 

Stubbington trip!

We are so excited about next week!

 

As always thank you for your support, Year 4 team.
