South Walney Junior School 

We want all our children to experience success and enjoy their learning whilst at school. We aim to achieve this through high standards of learning and teaching within a happy, structured and caring environment. The skills of true thinking (reasoning, creativity, judgement and memorisation) allow individuals to grow intellectually. Our children are given the chance to perform these mental operations at an appropriate level for their development, in accordance with the National Curriculum.

Through a variety of teaching methods and strategies, we aim to instil children with an enthusiasm for learning and prepare them for future school life. Teaching methods, ranging from whole class to individual personalised programmes of study are chosen, as appropriate, to meet the task or skill being focused upon.

Subject leaders work alongside Class Teachers and Support Staff to meet the needs of the SEND learner and ensure that consideration of SEND crosses all curriculum areas and all aspects of teaching and learning. 

Our children are generally taught in their mixed ability class groupings, with all children studying the same area. However, work is appropriately differentiated (either simplified or extended) to match all ability levels.

South Walney Junior School will strive to create a solid foundation of excellence upon which our children can build their future. To accomplish this, we will provide a structured, enriched curriculum which inspires and motivates all and leads to high standards of learning, giving all children the opportunity to achieve their potential.
