What is like to be a pupil at Bolsover Church of England Junior School?

To be a pupil at Bolsover Church of England Junior School is to belong to a family, underpinned by the Christian values of Faith, Hope, and Love. Pupils understand that every individual counts, every moment matters, and as a family, we grow together. They recognise that adults in school care deeply about them, helping them to develop the skills and values needed to shape society.

A strong sense of togetherness permeates the school; staff know and respond to the needs of every pupil.

Our curriculum extends pupils’ life experiences and cultural capital beyond Bolsover. Lessons are stimulating, structured, inclusive, and adapted to meet individual needs, creating memorable learning experiences. Pupils develop a deep understanding of British and Christian values, personal development, mental health, and well-being. Behaviour is positive; pupils know routines and boundaries and understand the behaviour policy. Pupils are respectful and engage well in developing empathy and respect for each other’s uniqueness, fostering an inclusive environment where all learners feel valued and supported. Bullying is not tolerated, and pupils are respectful of differences in faith, race, gender, and sexual orientation.
