Backwell Church of England Junior School

Backwell Church of England Junior School, located in Bristol, is an academy converter that serves a mixed-gender population of 228 pupils, with a capacity for 240. The school is part of a federation with West Leigh Infant School, which was established in April 2013. This partnership allows both schools to collaborate effectively, ensuring a seamless transition for students moving from Year 2 at West Leigh to Year 3 at Backwell Juniors. The schools aim to provide a world-class education within a supportive community environment.

The curriculum at Backwell C of E Junior School is designed to promote not only academic excellence but also the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty, and mutual respect. The school encourages pupils to appreciate diversity and develop respect for different faiths and cultures, preparing them for life in modern Britain.

Support for students includes a focus on mental health and well-being, as well as provisions for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Parents are encouraged to engage with the school through various channels, including the school’s website and direct contact with the administration for admission inquiries and other queries.
