Welcome to our wonderful school! Broomgrove Junior School is a friendly, caring and ambitious school and we are passionate about learning as well as social and emotional development and preparing children not just for secondary school, but for life.
Our school is located in the beautiful village of Wivenhoe, on the outskirts of Colchester. We are a two-form entry junior school with strong links with the neighbouring infant school. We have large grounds including a wonderful Forest School area on site.
Outdoor learning is something we are currently developing as it boosts confidence, social skills, communication, motivation, physical skills, knowledge and understanding. It has also been found to boost children's self-esteem, self-confidence, ability to work cooperatively and positive attitude to learning. We also have a school dog to support wellbeing. He is currently being introduced to children when they read.
As an inclusive school, we strive to support and challenge all children to enable them to achieve their potential in all areas of the curriculum through high quality teaching as well as through forming strong relationships with them and their families. We value and care for the whole child and their individual needs and everything we do is to benefit the children.
We have high expectations for all and we are developing a rich, broad and balanced curriculum. Also, our school community has selected our chosen Character Virtues, which are modelled and celebrated across the school.
At our school, we also value our relationships with families and the local community and we enjoy working together. Therefore, with our high expectations and collaborative approach, our motto is:
Being the best we can be, together!
As Headteacher of Broomgrove Junior School, it is a pleasure to welcome you to our website!
