Welcome to Christ Church C.E. (VA) Junior School

Christ Church school can be found on Park Road, Sowerby Bridge just two miles from Halifax. The OFSTED inspection report in June 2007 described our pupils' personal development as outstanding.

It was stated that pupils at this school, "follow a clear moral code and their heightened social awareness and concern for others creates a very happy family atmosphere."

Currently we have 145 children on roll. The Y5  age group is  full but there are  spaces available in Y3, Y4 and Y6 (March 2008). If you are looking for a school in our area please ring Mrs Gee, the School Business Manager, who will be pleased to show you round.

  The school has invested heavily in ICT so that each class now has access to 6 computers. Teachers use digital projectors and interactive whiteboards to make lessons exciting.This work was recognised recently when we were awarded the ICT Mark for, 'Demonstrating commitment to continual improvement through ICT.'

More recently the school's work has also been recognised by being awarded, 'Dyslexia Friendly School,' 'National Healthy School, 'the 'Full International Award' and the 'Basic Skills Quality Mark. '

We are a happy, vibrant school as you will recognise if you visit us in person. However, this website may be as near as you get so it will be our aim  to try to portray this for you as we steadily develop the site.

You may find it particularly useful to look at the regular newsletters. These will give you information about the variety of things taking place throughout the school year.
