Balfour Junior School is a welcoming and inclusive school that prides itself on valuing and developing each individual child so that they leave us as confident and well-rounded individuals, able to take an active part in the society around them.

We have developed an exciting and engaging topic-based curriculum, which is focused on the development of children’s knowledge and skills across all primary subjects to ensure pupils are ready for the next stage of their learning and beyond.

Our curriculum provides opportunities for all children to develop as independent, confident and successful learners with high aspirations. We encompass not only the formal requirements of the National Curriculum, but also go beyond the classroom to ensure knowledge is gained through enriching experiences that make learning memorable and enjoyable.

Our pupils enjoy school and show positive attitudes to learning and all aspects of school life. They share a sense of pride in being a Balfour pupil and agree that our school community is safe, respectful and fair.

Wellbeing is important to us and we strive to consider how practices and procedures can contribute to a good work-life balance. We have a commitment to professional development and seek to support all staff in being the best they can be.
