Head Teacher’s Welcome

Welcome to our school!

We are so pleased that you have shown an interest in our school –  please take time to look around our website and find out more about our wonderful school.  If you would like to find out more about who we are and what we do, please do not hesitate to contact us through the school office.

Emmbrook Junior School is a two-form entry school set within attractive and extensive grounds. We pride ourselves on being a warm and welcoming school where children can learn within an inclusive and nurturing environment in which they feel safe and secure.  We aim for every child to be successful, and do this through building a culture of learning, respect and resilience.  Every child in our school is unique, and we want to celebrate each child for who they are and what they can achieve.

Our school motto ‘Roots to grow; wings to fly’ underpins everything we do. We teach children how to be successful learners by developing life-long learning skills that will stand them in good stead for now and for the future. We aim to provide the best education for our children, bringing learning to life through our creative, thematic curriculum. Engaging and interactive lessons are full of memorable experiences which inspire a love of learning; encourage curiosity and promote both independence and collaborative learning skills.

We have a dedicated and hard-working team of staff and local advisors who continuously strive to reach high standards and to develop our school further. We are privileged to teach kind and caring children and we truly value the support of their parents and carers in their education. Through everyone working together – sharing similar high expectations and values – we believe that our children will fulfil their true potential.

We are proud to be part of the wider Emmbrook community and work closely with our feeder school, Emmbrook Infant School, as well as The Emmbrook Secondary School. Our Total Communication Base (shared with Emmbrook Infant School) is an integral part of our school and we place a strong emphasis on achievement for all and respect for each other’s uniqueness.  We are also part of The Circle Trust, a group of like-minded schools who work together to support learning for children in and beyond Wokingham.

The children love to share their learning and talk about our school with visitors. If you would like to arrange a visit or find out more about the exciting learning opportunities we provide, please contact the school office.
