We currently have spaces available in Year 5 & 6. Our school features a 20m indoor heated pool, offering weekly swimming lessons for pupils.

Welcome to our school website!

Welcome to Bishop’s Waltham Junior School. I am incredibly proud to lead a school where children are encouraged to enjoy, learn and achieve together each and every day. Our aim is simple: to help every child become the very best version of themselves — academically, personally and socially. 

At Bishop’s Waltham Junior, learning is designed to be engaging, challenging and full of opportunities to spark curiosity. We set high expectations for all pupils and have a strong track record of helping them achieve impressive academic outcomes, while also recognising and nurturing the full range of talents they bring. 

We are committed to developing well-rounded individuals who are kind, confident and respectful. Behaviour across the school is very good, and our dedicated staff team provides high-quality pastoral support alongside excellent teaching. Children with additional needs are supported through robust systems and the expertise of our qualified SENDCO, ensuring that every learner is valued and included. 

Beyond the classroom, pupils enjoy a rich selection of enrichment opportunities, including weekly swimming lessons in our on-site heated pool and an exciting programme of sporting, musical and creative activities. These experiences help our children build resilience, discover new interests and learn more about themselves as developing young citizens. 

It is a privilege to work with such enthusiastic pupils, dedicated staff and supportive families. If you would like to know more about life at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School or arrange a visit, please do get in touch — we would be delighted to welcome you.

Year 3 Welcome Assembly for Our Future Juniors

On Wednesday morning, our Year 3 pupils proudly hosted a special assembly for the Year 2 children who will be joining Bishop’s Waltham Junior School in September.

 

The assembly was based around the theme of “A Quest”, with the children sharing their journeys through Year 3 and reflecting on the challenges they have faced, the skills they have developed and the achievements they have celebrated along the way. Through confident speaking, engaging performances and thoughtful reflections, they demonstrated how they had successfully conquered life in Year 3 and embraced all that junior school has to offer.

 

We were incredibly proud of the confidence, enthusiasm and stage presence shown by our Year 3 pupils. They spoke clearly and confidently in front of a large audience and acted as wonderful ambassadors for our school.

 

The Year 2 pupils thoroughly enjoyed the assembly and left excited about beginning their own junior school adventure in September. It was a fantastic opportunity to help them feel welcomed and reassured about the next stage of their education.

 

A big thank you also goes to the Year 3 parents who joined us for the performance. We greatly appreciate your support and hope you enjoyed seeing the children's hard work and confidence shine through.

 

Well done, Year 3 – you were absolutely fantastic and should be very proud of yourselves! 👏🌟

Year 4 Update - Friday 26th June 2026

Year 4 Update - Friday 26th June 2026

Well, what a fantastic 2 weeks we have had in Year 4!

 

As you know, last week was our residential to Stubbington. The children were a real credit to themselves and the school and they did fantastically well, we were so proud of them and the staff at Stubbington commented on how well behaved and polite they were. We took part in many fun activities which everyone really enjoyed.

 

We also had a treat the day after Stubbington as a company came into our school to deliver a lesson on animals through the use of VR Headsets. The children really enjoyed this and so did the teachers. Thank you FOBS for paying for this for the children, a great experience.

 

These last two weeks have also had an art focus as we have completed our Y4 unit on letter printing. The children will be coming home with their initial printed on paper and fabric. They were able to print the bottom layer in a bright colour and then either printed or painted some black decoration on top. They look great.

 

We cannot believe we are nearly at the end of Year 4 but we still have lots of great things planned!

Transition Day

Today marked an exciting step for all of our children as they spent the morning in their classes for September. Pupils enjoyed meeting their new teachers and teaching assistants, spending time with their new classmates, and beginning to build friendships ahead of the new academic year.

 

It was particularly lovely to welcome our incoming Year 3 pupils, who joined us for their first taste of life at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School. They settled in brilliantly and approached the morning with enthusiasm and confidence.

 

Meanwhile, the majority of the Year 6 pupils spent the day at Swanmore College as part of their transition programme. This valuable experience gave them the opportunity to explore their new surroundings, meet staff and fellow students, and begin preparing for the exciting next stage of their education.

 

We are incredibly proud of how well all of the children embraced these changes and look forward to welcoming everyone back in September. 🌟📚
