"We continue to be a good school" - Ofsted, February 2020
Our recent news and events page.
The safety of our school community at Hove Junior School is paramount. Here is a link to a virtual tour video with Mr Kelsey, who illustrates many of the safety protocols that have been put in place ahead of the school reopening more widely.
We are aware of several issues with the national FSM voucher scheme, which are causing delays in vouchers making their way to families, despite school's best efforts. We are continuing to order vouchers and work with the central supplier on your behalf, where vouchers have not been received.
If your child is in receipt of Free School Meals, please read the letters below or on School Ping.
It is with regret that we need to inform you that the school will be closed to pupils with effect from the end of the school day on Friday 20th March until further notice, following the Government’s announcements on 18th March.
The government has moved the country into what they have called the ‘delay phase’. At present schools have been advised to stay open but at the same time, we are preparing in case the situation changes again and we must close or partially close our school.

On 14th February, Year 4 had an exciting Viking visitor as part of their Marvellous Middle!
The Brighton & Hove Travel Team visited the school and carried out a Road Safety Assembly for children in Years 5 and 6. All children were also given a “Good To Go—Your Guide To Making Safer Journeys” booklet to take home.
We would also encourage parents and carers to download the Arility Road Safety app to use with their child and promote road safety from home to school.
Year 3’s topic for the Spring Term is 'Trash to Treasure'
For their stunning start, they took part in a series of workshops that looked at some of the different climate zones around the world. They used art and craft, inspired by the different climate zones, to create these beautiful pieces!
