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.
Darren Campbell
Headteacher
A place where excellence, effort and happiness are valued in equal measure.

Year 3 Update - Friday 17th April 2026
Welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing Easter holiday and are feeling refreshed for the new term ahead. It has been lovely to see the children return to school ready to learn and share their holiday news.
This term is full of exciting learning opportunities across the curriculum. In Maths, we will be focusing on multiplication and division, with a strong emphasis on problem solving. The children will be learning how to apply their knowledge to a range of different contexts, helping them to build confidence and fluency. We will also soon begin learning the 8 times tables.
In English, we will be exploring a range of poetry, giving the children the chance to read, perform and write their own poems using creative language and imaginative ideas. Alongside this, we will be writing a non-chronological report based on The Tin Forest. The children will learn how to organise their writing using headings, subheadings and factual language.
In Science, our topic is Light. We will be learning about different sources of light, how light travels, and how shadows are formed. The children will have opportunities to take part in practical investigations to deepen their understanding.
In History, we are beginning our new topic on the Romans. We will explore who the Romans were, why they invaded Britain, and what life was like during Roman times. This is always a very engaging topic, and we are looking forward to bringing history to life in the classroom.
In Guided Reading, we are starting a new class text called The Hodgeheg. Through this, the children will continue to develop their reading comprehension skills, including making predictions, retrieving information and discussing vocabulary.
As always, reading regularly at home and practising times tables will greatly support your child’s learning in school. Thank you for your continued support we are looking forward to a busy and successful term ahead!
