“I only wish I was seven again and could be a child at your school. You do such amazing things!”
Kate Humble July 2013, BBC wildlife presenter.
“West Rise is a very inspiring school! I have told everyone about it!”

“West Rise Junior School is an amazing school with amazing pupils and staff”
John Craven March 2016, Presenter on BBC’s Countryfile.
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, a school farm, a Bronze Age village, Forest School, water buffalo, chickens, sheep, ducks and 120 acres of marshland are all integral and contribute to the unique experience pupils enjoy at West Rise.
The school has featured eight times in The Times Educational Supplement (International Educational Press), and in many other National newspapers, including The Times.
We have regularly featured on BBC and ITV television news, on BBC Radio and were excited to be featured on BBC’s Countryfile.
Children achieve highly in sport, music and the arts both in and outside school. “Pupils achieve well throughout the school and in a wide variety of subjects, benefitting from a rich and diverse curriculum.” “Behaviour and safety are outstanding” Ofsted
2013.
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.
