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.

Celebrating 100 Years of Sir David Attenborough

Today, staff and pupils at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School came together to celebrate the 100th birthday of Sir David Attenborough, marking a significant milestone for one of Britain’s most influential naturalists and broadcasters.

 

Pupils took part in a special live assembly, learning about Sir David’s inspirational life and his lifelong commitment to protecting the natural world. Throughout the day, children also enjoyed a range of outdoor learning activities that encouraged curiosity, respect for nature and an appreciation of wildlife.

 

Many pupils and staff marked the occasion by wearing clothing inspired by the great outdoors, wildlife and the natural environment, adding to the sense of celebration across the school.

 

It was a wonderful day that linked learning with our love of nature, inspiring pupils to think about their role in caring for the planet now and in the future.

Year 5 Learning Update – Friday 1st May 2026

It has been a fantastic first few weeks back after half term, with the children settling quickly into their learning and showing great enthusiasm across all subjects.

 

Maths

In Maths, we have been working on fractions, scaling and shape. The children have also enjoyed using polydron pieces to explore 3D shapes, helping them to visualise and understand how shapes are constructed.

 

English

In English, we have been writing explanation texts all about waterfalls, inspired by the text Rivers by Simon Chapman. The children have been developing their ability to explain processes clearly, using subject-specific vocabulary and well-structured writing.

Geography

Our rivers topic has continued in Geography, where we have been exploring different rivers and geographical features across the UK. The children are building a strong understanding of how rivers shape the landscape.

 

PE

In PE, the children have been taking part in athletics trials for district sports. They have practised a range of events including sprinting, longer-distance running, throwing and long jump, showing determination and great sportsmanship.

Year 4 - Friday 8th May 2026

Hello, Year 4 have been enjoying the fine weather and the Summer term learning!

 

PE

After our District sport trials at the start of the term, we’ve been focusing on athletics. From skipping, vortex throwing to standing long jump the year group have enjoyed the different athletic activities. Additionally, as a year group we have participated in some orienteering games. These give the children an opportunity to work in groups to hone their compass and map reading skills in conjunction with exercise activities, the children have loved it!

 

Science

This term's unit has been all about electricity! From looking at the dangers of electricity to creating vaious circuits, this unit is definitely a favourite with the children!

 

Geography

This term we’ve started our Physical Study- Economic unit where we studied the chocolate industry. We have already learnt about the Ivory Coast where most of Britain’s chocolate is imported from. We’ve also explored the continent of Africa and taken ‘looks’ from other people’s windows, via the internet. This activity allowed us to see similarities and differences in how people live from around the world. Next, we’re going to investigate the process of making a chocolate bar!

 

DT

This week we’ve made Night lights! Initially the children looked at the features of manufactured night lights to explore what they could include in their own designs. The next activity involved nets and shell structures to decide what would be the best shape for a simple lightbox, which was followed by designing their own versions! To bring the night lights to life, we used a program called ‘Crumble’ to program a set of lights and a Raspberry Pi. These were then placed inside the night lights and shown to the Year 3 classes who were very impressed with the light show and box designs!

 

Stubbington meeting reminder

With our trip rapidly approaching we will be holding our Stubbington briefing on Wednesday 20 May – 5pm. The meeting is to show parents and children the structure of our trip and allow you to ask any questions you may have. We look forward to seeing you!

 

As always, thank you for your support, we couldn’t do it without you!

 

Year 4 team.
