Have A Wonderful Summer

💙 A Message from the Headteacher 💙

 

As another fantastic year comes to a close, I would like to take this opportunity to thank our wonderful pupils, dedicated staff, supportive parents and carers, and committed governors for making Bishop’s Waltham Junior School such a special place to learn and work.

 

It has been a year filled with achievements, memorable experiences, challenges overcome and many reasons to be proud. Watching our children grow in confidence, independence and character has been a privilege, and I am immensely proud of all that they have accomplished.

 

I hope that everyone enjoys a well-deserved summer break, filled with fun, relaxation and special time with family and friends. Thank you for your continued support throughout the year.

 

From a very proud Headteacher, I wish you all a wonderful summer holiday, and I look forward to welcoming everyone back to school on Wednesday 2nd September.

 

Have a fantastic summer! ☀️🌳📚💙

 Farewell and Thank You
 
Today, BWJS said goodbye to two very special members of staff – Mrs Milne (Class Teacher) and Mrs Barclay (Teaching Assistant).
 
Between them, they have dedicated over 50 years of service to our school, touching the lives of countless children and families along the way. Their care, commitment and hard work have helped make BWJS the special place it is today.
 
We are incredibly grateful for everything they have given to our school community and know they will be hugely missed by pupils, staff and parents alike.
 
Thank you both for your years of dedication and service. We wish you every happiness and success in the future. 💐✨
Year 6 Leavers' Assembly

Year 6 Leavers' Assembly

On the final day of term, we held a very special Leavers’ Assembly to celebrate our Year 6 pupils and mark the end of their journey at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School.

 

The assembly provided an opportunity for pupils and staff to reflect on the many achievements, experiences and memories that have been made during their time at BWJS. From classroom successes and sporting achievements to school trips, performances and friendships, our Year 6 pupils have played an important role in the life of the school and have been wonderful role models for our younger children.

 

As a whole school community, we came together to wish them every success as they move on to secondary school and the exciting opportunities that lie ahead. While we will miss them greatly, we hope they leave BWJS with fond memories, lifelong friendships and the confidence, resilience and kindness that will help them thrive in the next chapter of their lives.

 

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of them and look forward to hearing about their future successes. Good luck, Year 6 – remember, once part of the BWJS family, always part of the BWJS family!

Year 3 Learning Update Friday 17th July 2026

We have had an incredible, action-packed fortnight in Year 3! Here is a look at what we have been up to.

 

Sporting Success & Team Spirit

We are immensely proud of the children at Fun Sports and District Sports last week. They showed outstanding team spirit, cheered for their peers and proved to be fantastic school ambassadors.

 

Class Reward

To celebrate their hard work this term, we ended the week with a fantastic water game on the field. The children loved splashing around and playing games in the sunshine.

 

Maths: Operations and Money

In Maths, we have been busy consolidating our core calculation skills through several different methods. The children worked hard on identifying coins and calculating change during our money topic. They also mastered the formal written column methods for both addition and subtraction. Finally, the class practised using formal written methods to multiply two-digit numbers by one-digit numbers.

 

English: Fossil Hunters

Inspired by our text The Fossil Hunter, the children created fossil information booklets. They used clear subheadings, interesting facts and precise technical vocabulary.

 

History: Roman Legacies

We explored the lasting impact of the Roman Empire on Britain. The children examined Roman coins and discussed how they spread messages, alongside other legacies like roads and towns.

 

A Huge Thank You

Finally, we want to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to all of our parents. We have had a wonderful year in Year 3. It has been an absolute privilege watching your children transition from the Year 2s who arrived last September into fully-fledged junior school children.

 

We hope you all have a peaceful, safe and fun summer holiday.

 

Thank you for your continued support!
