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.

We are thrilled to announce the BWJS School House Captains for the 2024-25 academic year! Following a large pool of interested pupils, which saw 40 Year 6 pupils apply for the role, candidates were shortlisted and invited to participate in interviews with Mr. Campbell last week. The commitment, enthusiasm, and leadership qualities shown by all applicants were truly impressive, making the selection process a challenging one.

 

After careful consideration, we are pleased to confirm the School House Captains for this year:

  • Lions: Ailbe M & Finn E
  • Tigers: Dylan W & Evie J
  • Leopards: Eleanor P & Oliver L
  • Pumas: Jude B & Annabelle W

 

These individuals have demonstrated exceptional leadership potential and are outstanding role models for their peers. We are confident they will excel in their responsibilities and contribute positively to the school community throughout the year. Their duties will include leading house teams, setting an example for others, and supporting school events and activities.

Year 3 Learning Update - Friday 11th October 2024

It has been a busy fortnight of learning in Year 3 including learning how to send emails using BWJSApps, continuing to investigate different magnets and carrying out magnet challenges as well as starting to use Trick Box during PSHE sessions.

This week, we have continued to look at descriptive language in English with a focus on alliteration and similes. We will be using these skills next week to plan and write ourown Autumn poems.

In Maths, we have learnt a new method for subtraction and looked at repartitioning numbers if we are trying to subtract a larger number from a smaller number. We have been able to apply our new knowledge to different word problems.

We have continued to learn about the Stone Age in History and created our very own cave art which is on display outside our classrooms.
