St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
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.
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 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.
PE and Sports Premium
The PE and Sport Premium is additional funding that is given to schools for the purpose of improving the provision of PE and Sports for the benefit of pupils and to give them the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle.
Please see the reports below which detail the funding received , how it has been spent at our school and the impact it has had over the last 3 years:
We pride ourselves on the extensive range of further sporting opportunities for our pupils. Throughout the year, there are many and varied opportunities for children to represent the school in Inter-School competitions. We aim to enter every event possible and to involve as broad a range of pupils as possible to take part.
Swimming
For the academic year 2024-2025 using some of the premium to provide additional booster sessions for those children in UKS2 who could not swim the expected 25m, resulted in 58% of our Y6 children achieving this NC expectation. This was lower than in previous years as unfortunately a number of sessions had to be cancelled due to issues at the pool.
