A warm welcome from our
Headteacher
St Botolph’s Church of England Primary School aims to provide a stimulating and varied programme of education to enable children of all abilities and backgrounds to acquire confidence, knowledge and skills within an environment of the Christian faith and practice, respecting also those from other faiths. Staff, children, parents and governors work together for the care of the school within the community, committed to the spiritual, social, moral and intellectual welfare of the pupils.
Aletheia Academies Trust
In 2014, with Shorne C of E Primary and Saint George’s C of E School, St. Botolph’s C of E Primary School formed the Aletheia Academies Trust.
Aletheia is committed to sustaining high-quality schools and supporting schools in need of specific improvement in some of the more challenging wards in Kent. Our focus is to provide school improvement services that draw on the wealth of practice from across our trust, broaden the expertise available to schools through flexible working arrangements and increase our capacity to quickly respond to the needs of individual schools. Pedagogical excellence is at the heart of all we do with a sustained focus on collaborative and mastery learning.

On Thursday afternoon, four teams came together for the grand final of our St Botolph`s Bake Off Competition.
After weeks of baking, the competition ended with a **Chocolate** themed challenge 🍫.
The finalists presented four chocolate cakes, and the judges had the difficult task of choosing a winner. The standard was high, and each team brought their own ideas and style to the challenge.
Congratulations to our winning team. Their chocolate sponge cake, filled with raspberry jam, fresh raspberries, and cream, impressed the judges. It was a fantastic bake and a worthy winner of this year`s St Botolph`s Bake Off Competition.
Well done to all of our finalists for taking part 👏
Until next year... 🎂✨

💙 Carers Week 2026 – Building Carer Friendly Communities 💙
To mark Carers Week (w/c 8th June), pupils took part in a range of activities linked to this year’s theme, "Building Carer Friendly Communities."
Children enjoyed team-building challenges and problem-solving games, including an exciting outdoor adventure session led by our Forest School Leader. Pupils worked together to complete challenges and develop their teamwork skills.
The wider school community also supported the week by colouring Carers Week posters, which were proudly displayed in classrooms to raise awareness and celebrate carers.
Thank you to Imago Community for supporting young carers and helping to raise awareness during Carers Week.

On Thursday afternoon, three groups of exceptional bakers came together for the chance to secure a place in the semi-final of our St Botolph`s Bake Off Competition.
After an incredible and creative battle themed around "Picnic", we officially have our finalists!
Choosing a winner was incredibly difficult, and we had the pleasure of tasting some truly amazing dishes.
In the end, the creativity, presentation, and delicious flavours from the "Sassy but Still Got It" team - Mrs Pollard and Mrs Webzell - won us over.
Congratulations to our winner, and a huge well done to all the participants 👏
Now, the countdown to the final begins! 🧁
