We currently have spaces available in Years 4 & 5. 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!

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.

Darren Campbell

Headteacher

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

Year 5 Update - Friday 17th January 2025

What a fantastic week we’ve had in Year 5! We’ve been busy learning new skills, trying creative projects, and even enjoying some French treats. Here’s what we got up to:

 

Maths – Tackling Long Multiplication

This week, we began learning long multiplication for the first time. We listened carefully to our teachers and followed the "I do, we do, you do" approach to make sure we completed all the steps correctly. At first, it was challenging to remember all the parts, but the more we practised the more our confidence grew. By the end of the week, we were solving tricky word problems and feeling proud of our progress!

 

English – Writing Persuasive Adverts

In English, we used our imaginations to create persuasive adverts for holidays to the Moon! We made up amazing facts to make the Moon sound like the best holiday destination ever. Did you know the Moon has the biggest theme park in the galaxy? Or that you can stay in luxury space hotels? Our adverts were full of alliteration, rhetorical questions, modal verbs and persuasive language to grab attention.

 

Art – Exploring Pointillism

Art this week was all about experimenting with Pointillism, a painting technique created by Georges Seurat that uses tiny dots to create a picture. We explored how to use contrasting colours to make our designs stand out. It was so much fun trying this style and seeing how the dots worked together to create amazing effects.

 

PE – Gymnastics Sequences

In PE, we continued our gymnastics journey by working on partner balances. We focused on creating symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes in our routines. It was challenging to hold the positions and keep balanced, but it felt great when we managed to pull it off as a team.

 

Thursday Fun – French Morning!

Thursday was such a treat! We had a French-themed morning where we tried pain au chocolats, croissants, and apple or orange juice. It was like a little taste of France! We also revised key French terms and colours. The highlight of the day was building the Eiffel Tower using spaghetti and marshmallows! We worked together as a team to create our towers, sharing ideas and helping each other along the way.

 


It’s been an exciting and busy week, and we’re looking forward to what’s coming next. Stay tuned for more updates from Year 5!

Year 3 Update: Friday 17th January 2025

We've had another great week in Year 3 with lots of excellent learning taking place!

 

We have continued with our Iron Man topic, writing a descriptive 'Wanted' poster to help locate the Iron Man. Our focus has been on using similies and adjectives using language from the text as well as our imagination.

 

Our class reader this half term is Charlotte's Web - we are very much enjoying learning about Wilbur and Charlotte's friendship and enjoy our daily story time as a class.

 

In Science, we have started to look at solids, liquids and gases and how their properties differ. 

 

In Computing, we are developing our skills using 'Scratch' - this programme can be accessed via BWJS Apps on the school website.

 

Have a lovely weekend.
