About the Junior School

Friends’ Junior School opened in 1992 and has built up from small begin­nings to a thriv­ing school here in the heart of Saffron Walden.  The Junior School prides itself on its Quaker roots and a strong sense of community, combined with a warm and friendly atmo­sphere. We provide a support­ive and caring envir­on­ment where every child is treated as an indi­vidual, where intel­lec­tual, creat­ive and phys­ical chal­lenges are met with confid­ence and ever-increasing levels of independence.

We have:

  • Excel­lent teach­ers whose expect­a­tions are high and who have the children’s best interests at heart
  • A broad and balanced curriculum
  • Small class sizes and an excel­lent pupil teacher ratio
  • Wonder­ful support staff
  • A calm and purpose­ful atmosphere
  • Chil­dren who are encour­aged and supported
  • Chil­dren who are helped to work to the best of their abil­ity in all that they do
