St Botolph's C of E Primary School
New day...endless possibilities
This is the most AMAZING school I know (and I work in schools!). The teaching staff (and other staff) are so lovely to my children and really care about them. My children love going to school, my son has autism and he has soared with the help of SENCO and his lovely one to one, is like his best friend. She is superb as are so many others. We could not have asked for a better school. Thanks for giving my kids the best start to school life.
Excellent school, wonderful and dedicated staff that put children first.... First class education in Shepshed, the Headteacher should be proud of her team and effective leadership!
We are over the moon with the positive impact St Botolph’s have made, not only for our daughter but us as a family. Seeing her happy to attend school and happy coming out of school is the best feeling! Leaps and bounds has happened this year for our daughter, we are so grateful to see her thriving as she is finally understood and listened to. We are so proud! Thank you to all!
