Inspiring Learning for Life... Hope for the Future

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to Bethany CE Junior School. We have the highest aspirations for all our pupils to help them feel confident about making the transition to secondary school and equipped to make a difference in the world.

Our school is a happy school and we pride ourselves on the relationships our staff have with the pupils, caring for them throughout their time at Bethany and ensuring academic and personal excellence for all. We express our Christian foundation in these values: Hope, Compassion and Courage. These underpin, shape and enrich every aspect of our school life and curriculum.

Our school vision and aims are built around the Bible passage from Jeremiah 29:11:

“I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord, “plans to give you a future and a hope.”

In fulfilling our vision, we are committed to ensuring pupils feel nurtured, inspired and motivated in their learning by:
