Welcome to Southway Junior School. It is my privilege to be the headteacher of this vibrant and caring school, where every child is valued, nurtured and inspired to achieve their very best.
We believe that every child has unique talents and strengths and we are committed to helping each one flourish – academically, socially and emotionally.
Our dedicated team of staff, supportive families and enthusiastic pupils work together to create a welcoming environment in which curiosity, creativity and kindness are celebrated.
At Southway, we aim to deliver an exciting curriculum that motivates, engages and enthuses every single child each day. We want our children to believe in themselves and feel that anything is possible.
We place a big emphasis on children’s views and opinions and believe in empowering children to become independent learners through having input into decisions about their school and learning.
We are fortunate to receive tremendous support from our parents and carers. The home / school partnership is crucial to the learning process. We value and appreciate the support we receive, which enables us to offer the children activities which extend and enrich their learning and the environment we can provide.
As part of the partnership, the school and home work together in FOS (Friends of Southway) which is run by parents, with school staff input. FOS work tirelessly to raise funds which benefit the children by subsiding trips and purchasing resources and equipment for the children to use.
I hope you enjoy finding out about us. If you are not a parent and would like to visit, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best wishes
Mrs V Smith
Headteacher
