About

At Short Heath Junior School, we offer teaching and learning which supports each child to achieve their potential within a happy, friendly and caring community. Through carefully planned questioning and a wealth of practical opportunities that develop exploration and problem-solving skills, staff guide children on a sensational learning journey.

This culminates in the secure understanding of a concept or a tangible learning outcome, such as a piece of writing or artwork. We are a friendly, welcoming school with a concerned, committed and caring staff. We aim to know our children thoroughly and provide them with an attractive and stimulating learning environment in which they feel happy, valued and secure.

At Short Heath Federation, we use a proactive, positive and problem solving approach in order to support children with their learning. Our Federation motto is demonstrated in practice as we show each and every child that their individual thoughts, feelings and actions really do matter every single day.

Our vision is to create a school where every child achieves his/her potential through a relentless focus on high quality teaching and learning.
