In a world that is ever changing, St Botolph’s school believes in preparing the children for life’s colourful journey. We encourage the children to have aspirations and give them strategies to be resilient and motivated learners enabling them to tackle the challenges that are ahead of them. We ensure that the children respect each other and their community around them, showing empathy and connecting with their local environment. We want our children to reach for the stars, be passionate about their learning and persevere even when things are difficult, showing courage, ambition and determination no matter what they face. We believe in making learning fun and engaging to allow every child the opportunity to succeed with pupil engagement and achievement at the heart of everything we do.

Through the acts of friendship and compassion the children will embrace each other and be truthful and honest whilst acknowledging their differences and similarities. They will share their fears and celebrate their accomplishments making sure that support and guidance are given when needed. The children show thankfulness for all the opportunities and experiences that are given to them during their journey at St Botolph’s. It is important to us as a school that the children grow in confidence and have a positive mindset enabling them to become life-long learners when they leave us. We strongly believe this attitude will prepare them for the bright future that awaits them.
