Our School Vision and Values
At Bishop’s Waltham Junior School, we are proud to share our refined school vision and values with our community.
Following reflection and discussion, we have taken the opportunity to sharpen and clarify our vision, ensuring it clearly reflects what we stand for as a school and what we want every child to experience during their time with us. This is not a change in direction, but a stronger articulation of the values and principles that already underpin our work.
Our Vision
'Together, we enjoy learning and achieve highly, nurturing confident, capable and compassionate children who thrive academically, socially and emotionally, and are ready for the next stage of their education.'
What This Means for Our Children
Our vision reflects our commitment to developing the whole child. We want every pupil to:
- Enjoy their learning and feel inspired in the classroom
- Achieve highly and take pride in their work
- Grow in confidence and independence
- Build positive relationships with others
- Understand and manage their emotions
- Be well prepared for the next stage of their education
Our Values in Action
Our vision is supported by our core values: Respect, Responsibility, Kindness, Resilience, Independence and a Positive Attitude
These values are part of everyday life at our school and are reinforced through our shared expectations of being:
Ready • Respectful • Safe
This means that pupils are supported to:
- Be ready to learn and take on new challenges
- Be respectful to themselves, others and the wider world
- Be safe in their actions and choices
A Consistent Approach Across the School
By refining our vision, we are ensuring a clear and consistent message across all aspects of school life—from the classroom to the playground, and in our communication with families.
Over the coming weeks, pupils will explore the vision and values through assemblies and classroom activities, and you will begin to see this reflected more clearly in our displays, newsletters and wider communication.
We are proud of the strong partnership we have with our families and wider community. By working together, we can ensure that every child:
- Feels happy, safe and valued
- Enjoys learning and achieves their best
- Develops into a confident, capable and compassionate individual
Looking Ahead
Our vision will continue to guide everything we do as a school. Most importantly, it will be seen in the daily experiences of our pupils—their learning, their relationships and their successes.
We look forward to continuing to work together to support every child to enjoy, learn and achieve.

Year 4 Learning Update - Friday 22nd May 2026
We cannot believe that we are at the end of Summer Term 1! Where has this term gone?
Also, there are now only 24 sleeps until Stubbington. We are very excited and cannot wait to go.
Year 4 have had a brilliant couple of weeks. We finished our English unit on the short film clip, Soar and have started looking at the book Varjak Paw in more detail. The children will end up writing their own hunt part of the story.
The last couple of weeks have been filled with lots of art which has been enjoyable. Our whole school project this year has been on 'Portraits' and we have focused on drawing exercises, drawing faces in proportion and we have then learnt about artists, Pablo Picasso and Kimmy Cantrell. We are also going to look at Naomi Vona after half term to complete the project. The children have created some fantastic pieces of art which we shall look forward to showing you at the art exhibition on Friday 12th June at 2.30pm.
We hope that you have a lovely half term break and the sun keeps shining. We look forward to seeing you all back on Monday 1st June (Please remember Monday 8th June is an INSET Day) for the final half term of Year 4!
