At BWJS, we absolutely love hearing about the amazing things our pupils achieve outside of school – and today, we have a truly fantastic story to share!

Joey, one of our talented Year 6 pupils, has had an incredible year in the world of gymnastics. In April, she took part in the South Region Tumbling Qualifiers in Milton Keynes, competing against some of the best young tumblers from across the region. After a fantastic performance, Joey secured 2nd place, earning a well-deserved silver medal. 

This brilliant result means that Joey has qualified for the prestigious 2025 English Tumbling Championships, which will take place in Telford from May 30th to June 1st. She will be representing the whole of the South of England, going up against other top athletes from all over the country.

Even more impressively, Joey is one of just 20 children in her category — which officially places her in the top 20 in the country at her age and level. What an outstanding achievement!

We are all so proud of Joey and her dedication to her sport. Competing at this level takes an enormous amount of hard work, resilience, and determination — qualities we value so highly in our school community.

We’re sure you’ll all join us in wishing Joey the very best of luck as she heads to the national finals. Whatever the result, she’s already a champion in our eyes. 

If your child is achieving something special outside of school — in sport, music, the arts, volunteering or beyond — please do let us know. We love celebrating the diverse talents of our pupils and sharing their successes with our whole school community.

Go Joey — we’re all behind you!

What a brilliant few weeks we’ve had in Year 3! Our classroom has been bursting with creativity, curiosity and some very impressive work.

📚 English – Escape from Pompeii!

In English, we’ve been inspired by Escape from Pompeii by Christina Balit. After reading the story, we imagined what it would be like to live in the city before Mount Vesuvius erupted. The children have written their own gripping versions of the story, using powerful descriptive phrases, fronted adverbials and even dialogue to bring their characters to life.

➗ Maths – Mastering Short Division

In Maths, we’ve been diving into short division. Using our times tables knowledge, we’ve learned how to divide numbers quickly and efficiently. We’ve practised using place value grids, sharing counters, and solving word problems. The children have shown great determination and resilience – and lots of "lightbulb" moments!
