St Botolph's Church of England Primary School is a good school (OFSTED grading January 2023) and was seen as outstanding by the National Society Statutory Inspection of Anglican and Methodist Schools (SIAMS) in October 2016. Our school gives children the chance to learn, grow and make friends in a happy and inclusive environment, to be brave and to be kind.
Most importantly, we provide them with a firm foundation for the future and the opportunity to thrive through our vision 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me' We equip children with the skills and knowledge to fulfil their potential, to build their confidence and aspirations.
So, a fundamental aim is to help them understand the positive role they can play in their local and wider communities. Above all, we seek to instill a lifelong love of learning and to expand each child's horizons allowing them to flourish - celebrating faith, learning and success .
Our values of compassion , courage and community are evident in our everyday mission and celebrated during our values assemblies.
