We are looking forward to welcoming you to Warwick Junior School for our upcoming Open Evening on Friday 3 July.

Throughout the evening, you will have the chance to meet Head of the Junior School, Mr John Bond, speak to our dedicated teachers and staff about our excellence in teaching and learning, and discover more about our community.

Each year, one of the highlights of the evening for many parents is the pupil-led tour. The tours provide a unique opportunity to find out first-hand what life at Warwick Junior School is like whilst exploring our outstanding facilities and grounds.

Ahead of the event, we have compiled a list of some of the key facilities around the site that you won’t want to miss:

Science laboratory

Our boys have plenty of opportunities to develop experimental techniques and learn to use a range of scientific apparatus in our bespoke, purpose-built science laboratory — an exceptional feature for a primary school. This is especially beneficial for pupils in Years 5 and 6, who receive specialised science lessons. The light and airy space features dedicated areas for both theory and practical work, creating a hands-on learning environment that enriches the educational experience and brings scientific concepts to life.

Sports facilities

Our sports fields are hard to miss. With a World Rugby-certified floodlit 3G pitch, two superb full-sized Tiger Turf hockey pitches, tennis courts, and pitches for cricket and other sports, our first-class sports pitches enable our boys to excel in whichever sports interest them.

Alongside these pitches, our site also boasts a large sports hall with climbing wall, gymnasium, and squash courts, along with a heated 25m swimming pool.

Our school has an outstanding reputation for sport, with pupils going on to individually and collectively represent themselves and teams at regional and national level, and we believe that our outstanding sports facilities play a large role in facilitating high-quality performance and enabling this success.

Computer suites

The Junior School has two fully equipped IT suites which are up to date with modern kit. Pupils will be able to stay up to date with the digital world and enhance their digital skills. In addition, many of our extra-curricular clubs are tailored to enhancing the digital skillset such as coding, animation and young engineers.

Library

The  library at the heart of the Junior School is a welcoming space for boys to visit during break and after school. The library is filled with books and resources from fiction to non-fiction, allowing for the supporting of reading and independent learning. The school timetable includes one library lesson every week.

Music School

The Music School is a shared space between Warwick Junior and Warwick Senior pupils. The school is home to a variety of classrooms, teaching spaces, private lesson rooms and a recital room. Music is a large part of life at Warwick Junior School, and we greatly encourage boys to learn new skills as part of their time here. With our strong musical offering, there is something for everyone. During your tour, feel free to ask instrument specific questions to our specialist music team.

Design and Technology workshop

In Years 3 – 6, pupils will take part in the Design and Technology curriculum in the dedicated, well-equipped workshops. Pupils will be able to learn a whole set of new, unique skills, led by specialist staff. Including, exploring a range of materials, designing, constructing and evaluating their own ideas. The workshops are equipped with tools that boys will be able to use in a safe, supervised manner with age-appropriate restrictions. To support the design and technology curriculum, pupils have access to specialist equipment as well as a fully equipped kitchen and ovens. They can also take part in the in demand ‘Bake Off’ after-school club.

Art studio

The specialist art studio allows pupils to embrace their creativity across a variety of mediums, such as drawing, painting, batik, pottery, printing and 3D modelling. The curriculum offers a variety of approaches to encourage pupils to express their creativity through multiple channels. When you visit the art studio, be sure to check out the work on display by past and current pupils!

 

These are just some of the facilities that you will see on your tour; you can also look forward to seeing our other spaces that empower our boys to learn and develop. Facilities such as these, along with our dedicated staff, and our sense of community and belonging, help to make Warwick Junior School an exceptional place for your son to be educated.

We look forward to welcoming you on Friday 3 July so you can see them for yourself.
