Welcome to Ludlow Junior School – we’re really pleased you’re here and having a look at our website – we hope you find it useful.

We are a large, friendly junior school at the heart of our Southampton community, where children are known, cared for and encouraged to do their best. From the moment pupils join us, we want them to feel happy, safe and know that they belong.

At Ludlow, relationships matter. We take the time to get to know our children and families well, because we know that children do best when school and home work together. We are proud of the calm, positive atmosphere you’ll find around our school and the way our pupils look after and support one another.

Learning is at the centre of everything we do. We want children to enjoy coming to school each day and to develop a real love of learning. Our lessons are designed to be interesting, challenging and inclusive, helping every child to make strong progress and feel proud of what they achieve.

We also place a strong focus on helping children grow as people. We encourage them to be kind, respectful and responsible, and to learn from challenges when things feel difficult. Through activities, leadership opportunities and shared experiences, children build confidence and develop important life skills.

Our staff team is committed to supporting every child as an individual. Whether a child needs extra help or additional challenge, we make sure the right support is in place so they can succeed.

We hope this website gives you a sense of what Ludlow is all about. If you’d like to find out more, please get in touch or come and visit us—we would love to welcome you to our school.
