Thames Ditton Junior School is a popular 3 form entry school located on the borders of south west London, with 360 pupils from Year 3 to Year 6.

The school also has learning and additional needs provision, supporting 16 pupils who have moderate learning needs and/or speech and language needs. The school has recently converted to academy status and joined Hinchley Wood School and Hinchley Wood Primary School in a multi academy trust – the Hinchley Wood Learning Partnership.

Our excellent academic results affirm the dedication and hard work of our children and staff, and the support of our parents and families; this success puts our children in prime positions in an increasingly competitive world.

We know, however, that learning is about more than this; we are determined to support our students in Thames Ditton - it is resilience and strength of character; the development of this in school, alongside a curiosity and zest for learning, and the embedding of growth mindsets that ensures our children can flourish, progressing confidently to the next stages of their academic, working or personal journeys.

Our children are at the heart of all we do here. Our values are important to us. We all strive to develop these values: determination, honesty, respect, kindness, co-operation, responsibility and belonging in order that our children leave us equipped ready for their future.
