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.
History
We moved into our building 3 years ago in February 2022 as a result of the growing population in Shepshed, and the Local Authority commissioned for it to be turned from a secondary school into a building that was suitable for a primary school. This resulted in us having some extra rooms and spaces to utilise for various interventions. The original plan was for us to utilise rooms to facilitate our own nursery, however the LA funding that was originally available for this was reallocated as at the time there wasn’t a need in the area for another nursery so this plan didn’t come to fruition.
During a visit to our school in early 2024 Justine Roberts and Ted Walker from Leicestershire's SENA service toured the school and noticed our own ‘makeshift’ nurture provision that was currently in place to support a small number of EYFS pupils that were not yet ready for mainstream teaching but didn’t yet have EHCPs. They also saw the space we had available and this sparked the idea that we could potentially have our own official specialist resource base as there was (and still is!) an ever growing need for these provisions.
As an inclusive school that was already working extremely hard to meet the diverse needs of our children we were nervous but excited to embark on this journey.
