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.

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

Year 5 Learning Update - Friday 3rd July 2026
The past few weeks have been incredibly busy in Year 5, and we are so proud of everything the children have achieved.
OFSTED in challenging conditions!
During the recent OFSTED visit, the children were fantastic ambassadors for our school. Despite the challenges of the heatwave, they showed great resilience, remained focused on their learning and continued to display the excellent manners and behaviour we see every day.
Assessment Week
This week has been a week filled with assessments which help us to measure the progress children have made throughout Year 5. We couldn't be prouder of their positive attitudes and hard work during our testing sessions. They approached each task with determination and should be very pleased with the progress they have made this year.
DT
In DT, the children have enjoyed bringing their fabric designs to life. They have been using wax resist and fabric dye safely and sensibly to create a range of patterns for their soft toys. We are looking forward to beginning the sewing stage of the project next week.
History
Our History lessons have focused on Ancient Egypt, where we have been exploring the different periods of this fascinating civilisation and investigating what made it so successful over time. We will continue this learning by looking into mummification and the afterlife.
With just a couple of weeks of the school year remaining, there are still lots of exciting activities to enjoy. We are looking forward to ending a fantastic year with plenty of fun and celebration!
Transition Day
Today marked an exciting step for all of our children as they spent the morning in their classes for September. Pupils enjoyed meeting their new teachers and teaching assistants, spending time with their new classmates, and beginning to build friendships ahead of the new academic year.
It was particularly lovely to welcome our incoming Year 3 pupils, who joined us for their first taste of life at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School. They settled in brilliantly and approached the morning with enthusiasm and confidence.
Meanwhile, the majority of the Year 6 pupils spent the day at Swanmore College as part of their transition programme. This valuable experience gave them the opportunity to explore their new surroundings, meet staff and fellow students, and begin preparing for the exciting next stage of their education.
We are incredibly proud of how well all of the children embraced these changes and look forward to welcoming everyone back in September. 🌟📚
Year 3 Welcome Assembly for Our Future Juniors
On Wednesday morning, our Year 3 pupils proudly hosted a special assembly for the Year 2 children who will be joining Bishop’s Waltham Junior School in September.
The assembly was based around the theme of “A Quest”, with the children sharing their journeys through Year 3 and reflecting on the challenges they have faced, the skills they have developed and the achievements they have celebrated along the way. Through confident speaking, engaging performances and thoughtful reflections, they demonstrated how they had successfully conquered life in Year 3 and embraced all that junior school has to offer.
We were incredibly proud of the confidence, enthusiasm and stage presence shown by our Year 3 pupils. They spoke clearly and confidently in front of a large audience and acted as wonderful ambassadors for our school.
The Year 2 pupils thoroughly enjoyed the assembly and left excited about beginning their own junior school adventure in September. It was a fantastic opportunity to help them feel welcomed and reassured about the next stage of their education.
A big thank you also goes to the Year 3 parents who joined us for the performance. We greatly appreciate your support and hope you enjoyed seeing the children's hard work and confidence shine through.
Well done, Year 3 – you were absolutely fantastic and should be very proud of yourselves! 👏🌟
Year 3 Learning Update - Friday 3rd July 2026
What another fantastic week we have had in Year 3!
The absolute highlight was our amazing Year 3 assembly. Every single child performed with incredible confidence, enthusiasm and determination in front of our families, staff and the Year 2 children. They worked tirelessly to learn their lines, songs, and actions and they should all be extremely proud of how their hard work came together.
We also had an exciting transfer morning where the children met their new Year 4 teachers and classmates. Everyone enjoyed taking part in fun activities in their new classrooms and embraced the experience with highly positive attitudes.
In our academic learning, the children explored the life of Boudicca in History and wrote excellent, descriptive diary entries from the perspective of fossil hunter Mary Anning. Meanwhile, in Maths, they continued to build their geometry confidence by identifying the properties of 2D and 3D shapes, recognising angles and solving practical problems.
As we approach the end of the school year, we are looking forward to another action-packed week ahead. We cannot wait to show great teamwork during our upcoming Sports Days and celebrate the Year 6 pupils by watching their final performance.
Well done, Year 3, for another brilliant week of learning, teamwork and achievement!
