St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
Excellent school, wonderful and dedicated staff that put children first.... First class education in Shepshed, the Headteacher should be proud of her team and effective leadership!
We are so proud of how much our son has come on and all that is with greatest thanks to the staff, if only he came to your wonderful school earlier. He has his spark back and the hunger to learn, we are so grateful for everything. Sending massive thanks and may your school continue to grow.
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.
Curriculum
We have written our own curriculum that follows a framework that covers the National Curriculum in line with the children's developmental levels. We break down themes and topics, connecting all areas of learning to ensure a broad and balanced curriculum for our pupils. We build on childrens's prior learning and tailor tasks towards our pupils' interests. Our teaching and learning is rooted in practical, play-based and sensory experiences.
Tasks are broken down into short manageable sessions and learning is achieved through quality first teaching. Learning occurs within our classroom and outdoor spaces, making the most of our local environment.
