From the Paulton Junior School
We at Paulton Junior School are dedicated to giving children a joyful, secure, and engaging learning environment. We strive to make learning fun and provide an education that develops the whole child academically, socially, physically and emotionally. It is my belief that children are far more likely to achieve well when there is a strong partnership between the school and home environment; and this website is just one tool in that partnership. I joined the Paulton Junior School team in 2003 as Deputy Head and took over as Head Teacher in 2005. Since then I have been very privileged to work alongside a professional, enthusiastic and committed team of Staff and Governors and welcome this opportunity to keep everyone informed about all that happens at our incredible School.
