At St.Botolph’s C of E Primary School our aim is to care for and develop the whole child educationally, emotionally, spiritually, morally and physically. As well as caring for their education we also care for their mental health and wellbeing and feel that it is essential to provide children with information to enable them to make life long, well informed decisions about their diet and health.
We run an extensive variety of activities before, during and after school. Clubs can run for a minimum of 4 weeks, usually for at least 6 weeks and in some cases all year! We have a number of musical opportunities too - drumming, piano, guitar lessons and this year turntablism!

St Botolph's Primary School is an aspirational, purposeful school with a very dedicated staff who care about the needs of every child.
We offer an amazing environment which develops each child's academic, physical and social potential. Children shine at St.Botolph’s and have fun. We are a school at the forefront of educational development, but one that retains all that is tried, tested and effective in the education of our children.
Our curriculum builds a community of learners with an excellent attitude to learning in a safe and caring environment. The curriculum is engaging, exciting and relevant to the children at our school and aims to prepare our children for life in modern Britain.
Our curriculum is driven by a desire for our children to have a greater knowledge of the world and an awareness of the possibilities open to them in their future lives and careers, hence our vision:
Our aim is to promote aspirational, independent children who are happy, respectful and have self-belief.
Our 6 Christian values are important to us and are seen as essential in establishing our school ethos:
Community – At St.Botolph’s, we nurture positive relationships within the school and wider community. We work closely in partnership with parents and carers and encourage a close liaison between home and school.
Compassion – We support one another, sharing experiences, showing respect and kindness.
Endurance – We persevere in the face of hardship and never give up.
Creation – We celebrate and enjoy the world in all its diversity.
Trust – Trust lies at the heart of the relationships within our school.
Responsibility – We share a collective responsibility for our world, community and the people in it.
There is much to celebrate at our school and our school environment is AMAZING! We hope you enjoy our website and window into your child’s education.
If you are a prospective parent, don’t just make do with a virtual tour of St Botolph's, come and visit us and see our fabulous school in action. I am always pleased to show prospective parents around and answer your questions.
I think OFSTED should consider this school for outstanding status! My child loves going to school and is progressing exceptionally well. The teachers are 100% dedicated and the kids love them, which helps immensely.
After being in this school for only one year, I am so pleased with the progress that both of my children are making. Class teachers are fantastic and always approachable no matter how busy they are, and I must say Mrs Pepper is FANTASTIC! I love attending the assemblies and school activities because of how enthusiastic she and all the teachers are! Keep up the good work.
Excellent school, wonderful and dedicated staff that put children first.... First class education in Shepshed, the Headteacher should be proud of her team and effective leadership!
