St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
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.
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.
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!
Behaviour
We think St. Botolph’s is a great school. The behaviour of our children is excellent.
We want everyone to be treated with respect.
We want children to be able to work hard and learn without interruptions.
We want everyone to feel safe and secure both in the classroom and the playground.
How we teach good behaviour
Assertive discipline is the principle behind our Behaviour Policy. All children are aware of our school rules and our expectations of them through our ABC Charter:
We have our ABC charter as a code of conduct for the behaviour expected in school:
Our ABC charter are like rules. We have rules so:
- we know how to conduct ourselves in school
- to keep us safe
- to make our school a happy place to be
- to prepare us for adult life – we have rules to keep us safe, our country has laws to keep us safe and consequences if we break those laws!
The school rules are reviewed annually with the children and parents/carers at the start of each new school year. Aspects of behaviour are frequently covered during:
- Assemblies and Acts of Worship
- P.S.H.E. time
- The meetings of the Wellbeing Council
Taking responsibility
The encouragement of good behaviour, self discipline and the care of our school and those in it, is a constant aspiration of those who work and learn at St. Botolph's. We encourage the children to be responsible for their own behaviour and attitude. It is their choice, and rewards and consequences will be given accordingly.
