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 Learning Update - Friday 14th November 2025
It’s been a brilliant couple of weeks in Year 5 as everyone has settled back into learning following the half term break.
📘🔭English & Science
Our English lessons have linked well with our Science topic on Space. We’ve been studying non-chronological reports about The Moon and will soon move on to writing about the planets. The children have been busy creating their own double-page spreads to present their work neatly, showcasing clear organisation, key facts, and eye-catching layouts.
In Science, we’ve been exploring the solar system, learning the order of the planets and discovering fascinating facts about each one.
⛹️♀️PE
In PE, we’ve been developing our netball skills, focusing on chest passing and finding space. Next week, we’ll move on to shooting and defending — the children are already showing great teamwork and energy!
🥳Sharing Assembly
A huge well done to the whole year group for their sharing assembly! The children rehearsed with enthusiasm, read clearly and confidently, and made us all incredibly proud. It was wonderful to see so many parents join us to celebrate their learning.
A fantastic start to the new half term — well done, Year 5!
World Diabetes Day at Bishop’s Waltham Junior School
Today, our school community came together to support World Diabetes Day by wearing blue – the official colour for diabetes awareness. It was fantastic to see such creativity and enthusiasm from both pupils and staff!
We had blue clothes, blue hair, face paints, and blue accessories on display throughout the day, creating a vibrant and united atmosphere across the school. This event was not only about raising awareness but also about showing solidarity with those affected by diabetes.
About the Day
World Diabetes Day is a global campaign that aims to raise awareness of diabetes and its impact on millions of people worldwide. By taking part, our pupils learned about the importance of understanding this condition and how small actions—like wearing blue—can help spread awareness and support those living with diabetes.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed and to those who kindly donated via our JustGiving page. Your generosity helps make a real difference.

🗺️ Geography – Exploring Maps
In Geography, we looked at different types of maps. We learned how to use a map key, spot symbols and find places using grid references.
💻 Computing – Making a Google Slides Document
In Computing, we learned how to make a Google Slides presentation. We explored how to add new slides, change layouts, insert pictures and type information.
🏐 PE – Starting NetballIn PE, we began our netball unit. We practised chest passes, shoulder passes and pivoting. Everyone worked together brilliantly, showing great teamwork and enthusiasm. We can’t wait to start playing small games!
🌟 Celebrating Our Amazing Year 6 Team Captains! 🌟
Today, our Year 6 Team Captains truly shone as outstanding ambassadors for Bishop’s Waltham Junior School during our Year 2 Open Morning.
They welcomed prospective parents with confidence and warmth, leading guided tours around the school and sharing their knowledge about life at BWJS. Their enthusiasm and pride in our school were clear to see, and they represented everything that makes our community so special.
From explaining our curriculum and clubs to showcasing our fantastic facilities, the Team Captains demonstrated maturity, leadership, and excellent communication skills. They were brilliant role models for younger pupils and helped visitors gain a real sense of what makes BWJS such a supportive and inspiring place to learn.
👏 A huge well done to all our Team Captains – you made us proud!
