St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
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.
This is the most AMAZING school I know (and I work in schools!). The teaching staff (and other staff) are so lovely to my children and really care about them. My children love going to school, my son has autism and he has soared with the help of SENCO and his lovely one to one, is like his best friend. She is superb as are so many others. We could not have asked for a better school. Thanks for giving my kids the best start to school life.
The school meets every requirement we have. I’m happy with all areas and feel the school in our eyes is outstanding.
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.
