Welcome to Sydenham High Junior School

Sydenham High Junior School is a small school with a big heart. Here, you will find cheerful children, engaging with approachable teachers in a stimulating, well-resourced environment. Classrooms are enthusiastic places where play-based learning combines with formal teaching, to create an enjoyable atmosphere.

Building confidence is at the foundation of our teaching approach. We know that children who are confident in themselves and their capabilities become excellent, independent learners – a skill that will set them up for life.

We keep class sizes small and pupil-to-teacher ratios high to give the individual attention needed to develop your child’s innate abilities. Learning is structured around each individual, building confidence by allowing children to experience achievement at their own pace.

Our pupils have access to excellent facilities including a large sports pavilion for a wide range of sporting activities and a dedicated performing arts centre as well as our own specialist music and science facilities.
