About

W elcome to Hove Junior School. We are a large 6 form entry Junior School on two sites. Our Portland Road site is four form and the Holland Road site is two form entry. I was thrilled to be appointed as Executive Head Teacher of both Hove Junior School and West Hove Infant School in September 2022.

They are fabulous schools - the greatest asset being our children who are highly motivated and enthusiastic and really involved in their learning. Our children have a strong sense of belonging and share common values of respect for and appreciation of each other through our Working with Others approach to learning.

We offer an exciting whole school curriculum in which the children play an important role in helping us to choose topics and mould standards. We believe we have created a curriculum which is personalised and enhances the individuality of our school and gives it a unique feel.

It is a school where we strive for children to continuously develop their curiosity and understanding of the world, to take risks with their learning and to ask probing questions and to think and act creatively.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
