At West Rise Junior School we inspire and empower independent and creative learners, who will continue to enrich their lives and those of others within a culture of high achievement and mutual respect. 

West Rise Junior School is the most magical, inspiring and extraordinary place! 

During the presentation of the National Sculpture for Kids exhibition, at the Royal Society of British Sculptors, David Cameron (Prime Minister), awarded West Rise Junior School the top prize and commented that the school demonstrated exemplary creative performance and aspiration.

At West Rise, we offer our pupils a dynamic, creative learning environment. Room 13, Shine Radio Station, artists in residence, school farm, bronze age village, water buffalos, pigs, goats, chickens, sheep, ducks and 100 acres of marshland are all integral and contribute to the unique experience pupils enjoy at West Rise. 

Open House magazine, Autumn 2011 stated, “West Rise has become famous for their innovative projects”.

West Rise Junior School was on the front page of the Times Educational Supplement in January 2010. On BBC and ITV television news and on BBC Radio. 

In terms of attainment, in 2011 the SATs results were the best recorded for West Rise. From 2007 there has been an upward trend.

Children achieve well in sport, music and the arts both in and outside school. 

There is an extraordinary community feel throughout the school as confirmed by the vast majority of visitors. If you are inspired by us, we would love to show you our amazing learning environment, innovative projects, fantastic staff and brilliant pupils.
