Inspiring Learning for Life...Hope for the Future

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Bethany CE Junior School. We have the highest aspirations for all our pupils to help them feel confident about making the transition to secondary school and equipped to make a difference in the world.

Our school is a happy school and we pride ourselves on the relationships our staff have with the pupils, caring for them throughout their time at Bethany and ensuring academic and personal excellence for all. We express our Christian foundation in these values: Confidence, Compassion, Creativity and Curiosity. These underpin, shape and enrich every aspect of our school life
and curriculum.

Our school vision and aims are built around the Bible passage from Jeremiah 29:11:

'I know the plans I have for you 'says the Lord, plans to give you a future and a hope'.

In fulfilling our vision, we are committed to ensuring pupils feel nurtured, inspired and motivated in their learning by:

Ensuring that our children have a wealth of opportunities, with learning experiences of the highest quality, to fully develop their individual strengths, talents and personalities.

Developing essential personal, social and emotional skills where children learn to value and develop skills in independence, teamwork and leadership.

Ensuring each child feels special, valued and included, where their achievements and efforts are recognised and celebrated.

Inspiring children with motivated teachers who have a passion for education and care for, nurture and develop the 'whole child'.

Providing lessons which engage and challenge all learners, where they feel supported and encouraged in each new step that they take.

Encouraging our children to make choices that have a positive impact on their community and the wider world.

Supporting our children in their understanding of the meaning and significance of the Christian faith, developing their view of worship and relationships.

Providing opportunities for our children to have the freedom to create, imagine and explore learning outside of the classroom.

Ensuring pupils feel well prepared for their learning beyond our schools, with strong aspirations and a desire to succeed.

We very much welcome visits so you can experience and appreciate the vibrant ethos of our school community.
