Writtle Junior School

Welcome to Writtle Junior School

Welcome to Writtle Junior School and thank you for visiting our website.

Writtle Junior School is a happy, hard-working school in which children are able to develop their potential academically, socially, spiritually and creatively. We are privileged to have wonderful caring children, supportive parents, a committed and innovative governing body and staff whose efforts are underpinned by the drive to see every child achieve success in a happy, supportive and stimulating environment.

We strive to instil a love of learning in all our children through motivating them by providing engaging, quality learning experiences. High expectations underpin all we do and children are supported in the challenges to meet them, developing resilience and learning from mistakes as they progress.

At the centre of learning is a broad, balanced, relevant and engaging curriculum, which ensures every child is able to achieve in their talents. Thinking and the growth of self-esteem and worth is central to developing independent learners and responsible citizens and we encourage reflection and problem solving within the children to extend and challenge them.

We hope that you can find everything you are looking for whether it be information regarding our exciting curriculum or just finding out what is on the school menu for that day.

With all our best wishes
Mr Taylor and the whole team at WJS

A message from our Head Boy and Head Girl

Our names are Max and Willow.

We are the Head Boy and Head Girl of Writtle Junior School and have the privilege of welcoming you all to WJS.

While being at our wonderful school, you will experience exciting lessons, amazing trips and many opportunities that will help you learn with a smile.

Throughout our time at Writtle Junior School, all the staff have been welcoming and kind; creating a hardworking yet fun atmosphere for all of us to enjoy. Our school motto: Together Everyone Achieves More is certainly very true. One of our favourite places in school is the Pod; our relaxed classroom is full of comfy pillows and bean bags (plus underfloor heating). Thanks to the ideas of the children and many friends of the school, we now have a unique classroom where everyone can learn and work together.

WJS is an extraordinary school for learning and being here has been amazing and we don’t want to leave.

Willow and Max

Head Girl and Head Boy.
