St Andrew's C.E. Primary School
I am delighted to welcome you to the website of St Andrew's C.E. Primary School. St. Andrew's has served the area of Boothstown for over 125 years, and in that time many parents have chosen this school as the first vital step in their child's education.
As a large Primary School, we actively encourage the involvement of parents and members of our community in school life. The success of each child's education is important to us whatever their ability. We pride ourselves on being a happy, secure and forward-looking school committed to the highest possible achievement on behalf of our children.
Whether you are a prospective parent or have children already at the school, you can be assured that all staff involved with your children are committed to providing high quality education across the spectrum.
Our foundation stage offers excellent early years education through a 'play based' curriculum. Throughout the school there is an ethos of high expectation, respect and a desire to learn. Not all successes can be measured through testing and end of year results. Our children are well mannered, polite and know the difference between right and wrong.We place equal emphasis on the arts, Christian values and physical education to continue to raise standards.
The effective use of a large team of teaching assistants and Higher Level Teaching Assistants with our specific intervention groups through general support across the curriculum ensures standards are maintained.
I would be delighted to personally meet with you and to take you around the school to see for yourself the quality of provision we offer. I look forward to meeting with you at some point.
