Ofsted
“St Botolph’s has a strong community ethos. Leaders have high expectations and want pupils to excel. In class, pupils are keen to contribute and work hard.” – Ofsted 2023
St. Botolph’s C of E Primary School was pleased to receive a ‘GOOD’ rating from Ofsted after an inspection that took place in March 2023.
The outcome highlights the quality of St. Botolph’s C of E Primary School’s offering:
- Leaders at all levels work together well in strong, effective teams and feel supported and valued.
- The headteacher provides highly effective leadership. With the support of other senior leaders, she has worked tirelessly to move the
school forward since it became an academy. - In all subjects, leaders carefully track pupils’ progress. This enables them to swiftly detect those requiring support, including accurately identifying those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
- Pupils are friendly, polite and respectful of adults and each other. They are caring and kind. They feel safe in school and say they are
confident to turn to adults should any problems arise. - Children are nurtured and thrive in an exciting and stimulating environment and make good progress from their starting points.
- Parents are fulsome in their praise for the school. One parent, summing up the views of many, described St Botolph’s as a ‘dedicated, inclusive school where my children are flourishing’.
SIAMS
“The vision underpins the creation of an engaging curriculum that inspires and enthuses pupils” – SIAMS 2024
The outcome highlights the quality of St. Botolph’s C of E Primary School’s offering:
Inspired by the vision, the curriculum offers an exceptional range of experiences that expand opportunities and widen horizons. This allows pupils to develop academically. It also enables them to develop as individuals empowered to embrace challenges and become the best that they can be.
A constant drive to meet the individual needs of this diverse community results in the creation of a welcoming environment.
The religious education (RE) curriculum is planned to meet the needs of pupils. They have a growing understanding of world faiths and worldviews, enriched through firsthand learning experiences.
Collective worship effectively promotes a deep understanding of the school’s vision and values reflected in behaviour and attitudes across St Botolph’s. Close links with the local church foster a depth of worship shared by all in the school community
