We currently have spaces available in Year 5 & 6. Our school features a 20m indoor heated pool, offering weekly swimming lessons for pupils. We provide full wraparound care on-site and offer approximately 20 extra-curricular clubs each term. If you would like to visit the school, please contact us.

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 β€” 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 β€” we would be delighted to welcome you.

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!

🚲 A Huge Thank You to the Bishop's Waltham Bike Bus Volunteers! 🚲

 

A huge shout out to the fantastic volunteers who give up their time each week to run the Bishop's Waltham Bike Bus on Friday mornings.

 

The Bike Bus has become a really popular part of the week, with children and parents thoroughly enjoying the opportunity to cycle to school together in a safe, fun and active way. It's wonderful to see so many smiling faces arriving at school ready for the day ahead!

 

We are incredibly grateful to the volunteers whose commitment and enthusiasm make this possible each week. We know there is growing interest in the Bike Bus and are looking forward to seeing even more families joining in from September.

 

Thank you for helping to make active travel such a positive part of our school community! πŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸŒŸ

Y6 Bikeability Training

A huge thank you to the Hampshire Outdoors Team for delivering Bikeability training to all of our Year 6 pupils this week.

 

Throughout the programme, pupils had the opportunity to develop their cycling skills, learn how to ride safely and confidently on the roads, and gain a greater understanding of road awareness and responsibility. The instructors were fantastic, providing expert guidance and encouragement to every child.

 

The children thoroughly enjoyed the experience and embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, determination and maturity. We are grateful to Hampshire Outdoors for providing such a valuable opportunity and helping our pupils develop skills that will benefit them for years to come.

 

Well done to all of our Year 6 cyclists for their excellent effort and attitude throughout the week! πŸš΄β€β™‚οΈπŸš΄β€β™€οΈπŸŒŸ

Year 5 Learning Update - Friday 17th July 2026

Learning Update – Year 5 – Friday 17th July 2026

 

It’s hard to believe we’ve nearly reached the end of another fantastic year! Over the past two weeks, Year 5 have been busy completing their final projects and celebrating everything they have achieved.

 

The children put the finishing touches to their soft toys, checking that their final products met the design brief before adding embellishments such as buttons, bows and facial features. Their creativity and perseverance have shone through and they should be very proud of their finished designs.

 

Our Ancient Egypt topic ended with the children learning about mummification, including death masks, canopic jars and burial ceremonies, before designing board games based on the Egyptian journey through the afterlife. We also explored what everyday life was like in Ancient Egypt, rounding off the topic with some fantastic historical knowledge.

 

As we begin to wind down for the summer, the children have been moving classrooms, finishing off their learning and looking ahead to the exciting opportunities that Year 6 will bring. We are also looking forward to our Wellbeing Morning and Leavers' Assembly next week as we celebrate a wonderful year together.

 

It has been a pleasure to teach this fantastic group of children: they have shown resilience, kindness and enthusiasm throughout the year. We are incredibly proud of all they have achieved.

 

We wish all of Year 5 and their families a happy, safe and relaxing summer break. Good luck in Year 6 - we know you'll continue to work hard, embrace new challenges and make us proud!
