St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
My child is very happy at St Botolph’s and enjoys coming to school each day, his progress has been magnificent and we are so proud of all he has achieved…. All in all we are extremely happy with this wonderful school!
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!
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.
PE and Sports Premium
The PE and Sport Premium is additional funding that is given to schools for the purpose of improving the provision of PE and Sports for the benefit of pupils and to give them the opportunity to develop a healthy lifestyle.
Please see the reports below which detail the funding received , how it has been spent at our school and the impact it has had over the last 3 years:
We pride ourselves on the extensive range of further sporting opportunities for our pupils. Throughout the year, there are many and varied opportunities for children to represent the school in Inter-School competitions. We aim to enter every event possible and to involve as broad a range of pupils as possible to take part.
Swimming
For the academic year 2024-2025 using some of the premium to provide additional booster sessions for those children in UKS2 who could not swim the expected 25m, resulted in 58% of our Y6 children achieving this NC expectation. This was lower than in previous years as unfortunately a number of sessions had to be cancelled due to issues at the pool.
