Why Eastern Green?

Why Choose Eastern Green Junior School?

Eastern Green Junior School is proud to be the only school in Coventry dedicated entirely to Key Stage 2 education. This means that every aspect of our school – our curriculum, teaching, environment and pastoral support – is specifically designed for children aged 7 to 11.

Because we focus exclusively on Key Stage 2, we have developed deep expertise in supporting pupils through these crucial years of their education. Our staff understand the academic, social and emotional development of junior-aged children and are able to provide a curriculum and school experience that prepares them exceptionally well for the next stage of their learning.

A School Designed for Junior-Aged Children

Being a dedicated Key Stage 2 school means that our pupils benefit from:

  • teaching that is specifically tailored to the learning needs of junior-aged pupils

  • a curriculum carefully sequenced from Year 3 to Year 6

  • high expectations that support pupils in becoming increasingly independent and responsible learners

  • opportunities for leadership, collaboration and personal development as pupils grow in confidence

Every part of school life is designed to help pupils develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes they need to succeed both academically and personally.

A Curriculum That Builds Knowledge and Confidence

Our ambitious curriculum is carefully planned to ensure that knowledge and skills are built progressively across the four years of Key Stage 2. Subjects are sequenced so that pupils develop a strong foundation of knowledge while also learning how to think critically, ask questions and apply their learning in different contexts.

Reading sits at the heart of our curriculum, ensuring pupils develop the fluency, vocabulary and comprehension skills needed to access learning across all subjects. Writing is taught through high-quality texts that immerse pupils in rich language, while mathematics follows a mastery approach that emphasises fluency, reasoning and problem solving.

Across the wider curriculum, pupils explore history, geography, science, languages, sport and the arts through engaging topics that develop curiosity and deepen understanding of the world around them.

High Expectations for Behaviour and Learning

At Eastern Green Junior School we have high expectations for every pupil. Our school values of Respect, Ready and Safe underpin everything we do and help create a calm, purposeful learning environment.

Clear routines, strong relationships and consistent expectations ensure that classrooms remain focused on learning. Pupils develop self-discipline, resilience and responsibility, allowing them to fully engage with the curriculum and achieve their best.

Preparing Pupils for Secondary School

One of the key advantages of being a dedicated Key Stage 2 school is our strong focus on preparing pupils for the transition to secondary school.

Throughout their time at Eastern Green Junior School, pupils develop the independence, organisation and study habits they will need in the next stage of their education. They learn to manage their learning, take responsibility for their work and develop confidence in speaking, presenting ideas and working collaboratively.

Our curriculum, behaviour systems and wider opportunities are all designed to ensure that by the end of Year 6 pupils leave us as:

  • confident readers and communicators

  • independent and resilient learners

  • responsible and respectful members of their community

  • young people who are ready to embrace the challenges of secondary school

A School Community That Celebrates Success

Life at Eastern Green Junior School is about much more than academic learning. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities including sporting competitions, enrichment activities, school trips and community events that bring learning to life.

We also work closely with families and the wider school community, ensuring that pupils feel supported and valued throughout their time with us.


At Eastern Green Junior School, we are proud to provide a rich and ambitious Key Stage 2 education that equips every child with the knowledge, confidence and character they need to thrive at secondary school and beyond.
