St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
In our opinion as parents, St Botolph’s is an OUTSTANDING Primary School. The entire team of teachers and support staff have continually endeavored to challenge our child and sympathetically support his individual needs. The positive ‘can do’ ethos that exists within this school has facilitated tremendous progress in all aspects of his education….Our son says “I love my school”, that says it all!
St Botolph’s is a wonderful school. All of the teachers and TA’s that my children have had have been highly supportive and professional. From the moment my children enter school campus they are greeted with a smile.
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.
Our vision
“At St Botolph’s every day is a new day…to learn new things…to make a new start….that can take us anywhere we want to go….”
Our aim

Our drivers
Our curriculum drivers have been reviewed to drive us forward and to be at the heart of our curriculum, embracing our core values:
Social, emotional and physical wellbeing - As well as caring for their education, we also care for the children’s 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, physical and mental health.
Our world – We share a collective responsibility to understand and look after our world, realising our impact on it and the difference we can make
Spiritual and moral - We care for and develop the whole child spiritually and morally, enabling them to live with respect, tolerance and understanding
