A TOUR OF SIJS

The school was purpose built in 1984 and we prioritise the physical learning environment at SIJS, believing that pupils deserve a school building and resources to be proud of.  The building is bright, airy and well maintained. 

The School building has a central hall with a gallery walkway.  The hall is flanked by two symmetrical wings, each of which houses five classrooms and two learning zones.  

We are fortunate to have extensive grounds which we use to enhance pupils’ learning and enjoyment throughout the school day.  We have a good quality football pitch and two hard courts in addition to the south facing paved and grassed play areas. Pupils designed our Ready Steady Grow Zone which we use creatively to present pupils with fun and collaborative challenges.  We have two outdoor table tennis tables in the playground and two table footballs. 

We have an allotment where pupils can grow all sorts of produce.  We also have a firepit and an outdoor classroom, where we can immerse ourselves in outdoor learning and storytelling, all in the hope of making learning more memorable for pupils.
