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.

I am incredibly proud to be the headteacher of Emmbrook Junior School. Our community is incredibly inclusive, and we hope that you feel welcome from the moment you walk through our doors.

Our school embraces a culture of ‘Nurture, Grow, Thrive’, and our experienced and dedicated staff work hard to create a welcoming environment where all children feel that they belong. This is supported by our nurture programme, where we offer a range of nurture programmes at both a universal and bespoke level. This includes having a full-time Family Support Worker and a trained nurture assistant to provide small group and 1:1 nurture provision, a dedicated nurture classroom, a sensory room, outdoor learning provision, Nurture through Sport with the Primary Stars programme with Reading Football Club, drama workshops for developing self-esteem and supporting transition as well as a therapy dog that regularly visits our school!

Our school values ‘Respect, Responsibility, Resilience’ underpin 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 are proud to be part of the Emmbrook community, and work closely with our main feeder school, Emmbrook Infant School, as well as The Emmbrook Secondary School. Our Total Communication Base which supports a number of deaf children (run alongside Emmbrook Infant School) is an integral part of our school and we place a strong emphasis on achievement for all and respect for each others uniqueness. All of our children learn British Sign Language as their Modern Language throughout their time in Emmbrook Junior School and we are proud of being a deaf-friendly school.

We are also proud to be part of The Circle Trust, a multi-academy trust which is a group of like-minded schools who work together to support learning for children within and beyond Wokingham.
