St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
Both of our children love coming to St Botolph’s. My child has come on so well since joining St Botolph’s in February 2023 which is all down to how well he is supported at school. My child is happy and excited to go to school every day! Keep doing what you’re doing!
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.
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!
Curriculum Intent
St Botolph’s Global curriculum is engaging, exciting and relevant to the children at our school, preparing them for life in modern Britain. It 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.
Our vision
As a community, we are working together to ensure educational excellence underpinned by our Christian ethos and values, enabling all to live a rich and abundant life where each day is a new opportunity.
Reflecting John 10:10: Jesus said, "I have come to give life - life in all its fullness"
Our aim
Our aim is to promote aspirational, independent children who are happy, respectful and have self-belief.
We want all children to become creative, active and reflective learners, enabling them to be able to respond positively to the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly changing world and promote a commitment to lifelong learning.
Our Christian values are seen as essential in establishing our school ethos:
Creation – We celebrate and enjoy the world in all its diversity.
Community – We nurture positive relationships within the school and wider community.
Compassion – We support one another, sharing experiences.
Endurance – We persevere in the face of hardship and never give up.
Responsibility – We share a collective responsibility for our world, community and the people in it.
Trust – Trust lies at the heart of the relationships within our school.
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
