St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
As parents we are so pleased we chose St Botolph’s as we feel both of our children have had exemplary support and care as they have progressed through their school year.
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.
Our son is so happy to go to school every day! It is such a relief and comfort to know he is happy and settled in a wonderful environment with kind and caring staff members. Our son has come on leaps and bounds and it’s lovely to see the updates through the app of all the different activities he does every day. We can’t thank the staff enough for the brilliant first year he’s had.
British Values
British Values underpin what it is to be a citizen in a modern and diverse Great Britain, valuing our community and celebrating diversity of the UK.
The Department for Education defines British Values as follows:
-
Democracy - Respect for democracy and support or participation in the democratic process
-
The Rule of Law - Respect for the basis on which the law is made and applies in England
-
Mutual Respect Support for equality of opportunity for all
-
Individual Liberty - Support and respect for the liberties of all within the law
-
Tolerance - Respect for and tolerance of different faiths and religious and other beliefs
Our school reflects British values in all that we do. We aim to educate and nurture our children so that they can grow into safe, caring, democratic, responsible and tolerant adults who make a positive difference to British society and to the world.
The values are taught explicitly in whole school assemblies alongside our PSHE programme of study and through our 'Picture news' class assemblies. The themes and current affairs of Picture News gives our pupils opportunities to listen, absorb, reflect and share opinions on our British Values.
We also have a PSHE programme of study, which supports our pupils in learning about the key values from Reception to Year 6. This teaching forms part of the core curriculum for each year group.
