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.

Darren Campbell

Headteacher

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

Huge Congratulations to 4A & 4R!

 A massive well done to all the Year 4 pupils who performed brilliantly this afternoon in the end-of-term Brass Concert, showcasing their hard work and talent in front of a packed hall of family and friends! 

 

Pupils have been enjoying weekly lessons with Mr. Garrod as part of the Hampshire Listen2Me Music Scheme, and their progress has been amazing to see. 

 

Thank you so much to all the parents and carers who attended the concert—your support makes such a difference and helps create a truly special atmosphere for the children.

 

We are so proud of all our young musicians and can’t wait to see what they’ll achieve next term as they move on to keyboards!

Year 4 Update- Friday 6th December 2024

It has been a very egg-citing week in Year 4! Our new science topic focuses on teeth and we have set up an experiment to look at the effect of different drinks on the health of our teeth. To do this we have submerged six eggs in six different drinks and are eagerly observing the effects. The children were excellent at making sure the test was fair by only changing one variable, the drinks, and making sure all the other elements were the same. Today we are going to be looking at what has happened to the eggs and thinking about how our teeth could be affected if we don’t clean them properly.

 

We also began our D.T. sewing unit and have been practising different stitches- running stitch, backstitch and over stitch and have designed our purses. Next week we will move into constructing our purses, making sure they follow the design brief and are neatly made. The teachers are predicting how many needles they will be rethreading during this process!!

 

Finally we were all extremely proud of Jackalberry  class who performed their ukulele concert to parents. They did and amazing job and Mrs Hughes was really proud of their hard work. Next Wednesday it is the turn of Redwood and Ash classes who will perform their brass concert. The children have been practising hard all week and are looking forward to demonstrating their skills.

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Year 6 Update - Friday 6th December 2024

It's hard to believe that we're almost at the end of the Autumn Term now - it feels like only a few minutes since we came back after the half term break!

 

The last two weeks have been as busy as ever.  We've finished reading The Explorer, and written a variety of persuasive texts around the situations in the story.  In science, we've continued to learn about evolution, and we've started our DT learning about structures and shelters. 

 

Our main focus, however, has been the upcoming Rainforest Cafe.  Last week, we did some tasting of different rainforest flavours, and we are preparing to cook our muffins and blend our smoothies for the cafe itself next week.  We're looking forward to welcoming lots of guests on Tuesday afternoon to see, hear and taste some of the learning we have done.
