We have a diverse student body with many different nationalities and over 25 different languages represented.

The school has high expectations. Lessons use retrieval strategies to assess what the children have retained from previous units and lessons and develop their ability to retain 'sticky knowledge'. Knowledge Organisers are shared and used to help children remember key knowledge and vocabulary.        

We know some children require visual support strategies. Classes are set up with vocabulary mats and clear visual prompts. Children may require and receive visual timetables and 'now and next' boards.   As highly skilled practitioners, teachers are able to adapt provision to meet the needs of all children in the classroom. This is supported through advice from external professionals such as Surrey specialist teachers (STIPS), Educational Psychologists, Speech and Language therapists (SALT), and Occupational Therapists (OT).

The school also works with external support workers to support children's social and emotional mental health. We know that safe and happy children are more likely to achieve in school. 

Young Carers

We are proud of the support offered to Young Carers while they attend Horsell Junior School. Our dedicated Champions, supported by a raft of volunteers from St Mary's Church and the local community, meet every week in a nurturing environment to talk and understand about themselves and one another. If you feel your child may be facilitating care in your home for a family member, please do get in touch with our Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion, who is one of the YC Champions.
