We encourage children to ask questions, investigate how things work and develop their confidence to tackle real-life practical challenges with resilience and enthusiasm. Through a culture of **kindness**, pupils learn to collaborate respectfully, value one another’s ideas and adapt existing designs with empathy and consideration. They work both independently and as part of a supportive team, learning from mistakes and celebrating each other’s progress. Our engaging curriculum equips children with the skills to design and make purposeful products, drawing on knowledge from English, mathematics, science, art, computing and history. By reflecting critically on their work and striving for ever-improving accuracy, children experience **success** as proactive problem-solvers who leave Sholing Junior School ready to shape the world around them with creativity, confidence and care. **Implementation** ![Sholing Junior School](https://files.schudio.com/sholing-junior-school/images/logo/Sholing-logo-Partners-footer-2.png) ### Sholing Junior School Middle Road Sholing Southampton Hampshire SO19 8PT 023 8044 7448 ### Useful Links - [Our Partnerships](https://www.sholing-jun.co.uk/key-information/hamwic-trust-and-mayflower-partnership) - [Safeguarding](https://www.sholing-jun.co.uk/our-school/safeguarding) - [Attendance](https://www.sholing-jun.co.uk/our-school/attendance) - [Curriculum](https://www.sholing-jun.co.uk/our-learning/curriculum) - [Careers](https://www.sholing-jun.co.uk/job-vacancies) ### Translation © Copyright 2024–2026 Sholing Junior School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.sholing-jun.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
