Portway Junior School was established in 1947. An oak tree was planted in the extensive playing fields when the school was founded and this is the emblem seen on our school badge.

The original school buildings were demolished in the summer of 1995 and the new building opened in 1996. Since 2000 three new classrooms have been added to cope with the demand for places at this popular school and enabling an I.T. Suite to be created.

We are proud to be a forward looking school and one that aims high in all areas. We have recently been recognised as Investors in People and have achieved the Basic Skills Mark 2, Artsmark award and the Health Promoting Schools award.
