Welcome to Widney Junior School. We hope this introduction to our school will provide you with a useful picture of the stimulating learning environment that we provide, and an overview of all the exciting opportunities that we offer to our children.
Our vision statement is Inspiring a Community and we pride ourselves on the strong links that we have with our parents and community. We work together to ensure our pupils achieve well in all aspects of school life, encouraging children to become resilient learners through developing a growth mindset.
We are a very family-orientated school and are readily available to answer any questions that you may have. We are committed to providing extensive information about your child's progress and learning through this website, our Twitter feed and our regular communications from school.
We are always keen to involve parents in the life of the school, whether through celebratory events, volunteering or through our thriving Parent Teacher Association Friends of Widney , which is always open to new ideas and suggestions.
