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.

Celebrating Joey’s Tumbling Success! 

At BWJS, we absolutely love hearing about the amazing things our pupils achieve outside of school – and today, we have a truly fantastic story to share!

 

Joey, one of our talented Year 6 pupils, has had an incredible year in the world of gymnastics. In April, she took part in the South Region Tumbling Qualifiers in Milton Keynes, competing against some of the best young tumblers from across the region. After a fantastic performance, Joey secured 2nd place, earning a well-deserved silver medal

 

This brilliant result means that Joey has qualified for the prestigious 2025 English Tumbling Championships, which will take place in Telford from May 30th to June 1st. She will be representing the whole of the South of England, going up against other top athletes from all over the country.

 

Even more impressively, Joey is one of just 20 children in her category — which officially places her in the top 20 in the country at her age and level. What an outstanding achievement!

 

We are all so proud of Joey and her dedication to her sport. Competing at this level takes an enormous amount of hard work, resilience, and determination — qualities we value so highly in our school community.

 

We’re sure you’ll all join us in wishing Joey the very best of luck as she heads to the national finals. Whatever the result, she’s already a champion in our eyes. 

 

If your child is achieving something special outside of school — in sport, music, the arts, volunteering or beyond — please do let us know. We love celebrating the diverse talents of our pupils and sharing their successes with our whole school community.

 

Go Joey — we’re all behind you!

BWJS Athletics Trials!
 This afternoon, our school field was buzzing with energy and excitement as BWJS held its athletics trials to select the team for the upcoming District Athletics Competition against local schools.
 
From lightning-fast sprints and long-distance runs to sack races, skipping challenges, and obstacle courses — every event was filled with determination, effort, and smiles! 
 
The sun was shining, the sportsmanship was fantastic, and the support from parents made it even more special. A huge well done to all our competitors who gave it 100% — we’re so proud of you!

Friday 16th May 2025 - Year 3 Learning Update

What a brilliant few weeks we’ve had in Year 3! Our classroom has been bursting with creativity, curiosity and some very impressive work.

📚 English – Escape from Pompeii!

In English, we’ve been inspired by Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit. After reading the story, we imagined what it would be like to live in the city before Mount Vesuvius erupted. The children have written their own gripping versions of the story, using powerful descriptive phrases, fronted adverbials and even dialogue to bring their characters to life.

 

➗ Maths – Mastering Short Division

In Maths, we’ve been diving into short division. Using our times tables knowledge, we’ve learned how to divide numbers quickly and efficiently. We’ve practised using place value grids, sharing counters, and solving word problems. The children have shown great determination and resilience – and lots of "lightbulb" moments!
