St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
We could not have chosen a better school! We are so pleased with how much you do with the children; the discos, trips, panto etc! Some of our friends whose children go to school elsewhere do not do half of what you do at St Botolph’s! Our son loves the Sunday timetable that we get sent so he can see what his week will look like.
Our daughter is very happy. We have no issues and would happily recommend the school to any prospective parents.
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!
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.
