Welcome to Bishop Wood C of E Junior School

As Headteacher, I warmly welcome you to Bishop Wood, a proud Church of England school rooted in Christian values and committed to nurturing every child’s spiritual, academic, and personal growth.

Our vision is to help every pupil become the best version of themselves, enjoying “life in all its fullness.” We see our school as a working model of the perfect little society—one built on respect, kindness, empathy, and a deep sense of connection to others and the world around us.

Spirituality at Bishop Wood is not an add-on but something woven through everything we do. It is about fostering curiosity, reflection, wonder, and a search for meaning and purpose. We aim to create a safe, inclusive environment where every child can grow in confidence, develop their values, and understand and appreciate the diversity of beliefs and cultures in our community.

Through a rich and balanced curriculum, daily collective worship, opportunities for quiet reflection, and a celebration of diversity, we support children in becoming thoughtful, compassionate, and resilient young people, ready to make a positive difference in the world.

I hope this website gives you a flavour of our school’s ethos and life. We look forward to working in partnership with families and the wider community to guide our pupils on their journey of learning, faith, and discovery.

With warm regards,

Gary Stanley
Headteacher
