Home | Bishop's Waltham Junior School

We currently have spaces available in Years 4 & 5. Our school features a 20m indoor heated pool, offering weekly swimming lessons for pupils.

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.

Year 3 Learning Update - Friday 9th January 2026

Welcome Back from the Year 3 Team

We hope you all had a lovely, relaxing break. We have had a brilliant first week back and the children have jumped straight into their learning with enthusiasm!

We are continuing our work on our class text, Cinnamon. This week, we began drafting persuasive letters to the Rajah and Rani. The children are working hard to use convincing arguments to persuade them to let Cinnamon leave the palace and head into the jungle.

In Maths, we have been getting hands-on with our new topic: Mass. The children have been practicing their estimation skills before using scales to accurately weigh various items from around our classroom.

Our new Geography topic is officially underway. We will be exploring Mountains and Earthquakes and we looked at the continent Asia this week.

In Science, we have been investigating the world of Solids, Liquids, and Gases. We’ve been discussing the different properties of these states of matter and how to identify them.

We ended our week with a fantastic session in the hall for PE. The children have started their Gymnastics unit, focusing on balance, body control, and movement.

It has been a wonderful start to the new term—well done, Year 3!

Young Voices - Ridgemede Carehome - Wednesday 10th December 2025

Today, many members of the Young Voices choir ventured out into the local community to once again spread some Christmas joy with their singing!

30 children visited Ridgemede Carehome. They brought their beautiful voices and Christmas spirit to share with the residents. We sang a range of classic Christmas songs and read a few Christmas poems. Our audience joined in gleefully with our singing and gave the children such a warm welcome. We also had the pleasure of singing Happy Birthday to an amazing resident named Polly who was celebrating her 107th Birthday!

A huge thankyou to the Year 5s and 6s who attended today. As always, you were a credit to our school.

Miss Pascoe 🎵
