St. Botolph's Church of England Primary School strives to offer a challenging and varied curriculum that will help kids of all abilities and backgrounds gain self-assurance, knowledge, and skills in a setting centred on the Christian faith and practises while also showing respect for those of other faiths. Together, staff, students, parents, and governors collaborate to take care of the school in the neighbourhood, with a focus on the students' intellectual, spiritual, social, and moral development. Since 1838, our school has provided education to the residents of Northfleet, Kent. It was rebuilt on its current location in 1976 and was formerly known as Northfleet National School. There are now 450 students enrolled, distributed among nine junior classes and six infant classes (Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1) (Key Stage 2). A huge multipurpose room, a separate studio facility, and a variety of technology, including iPad and laptop stations, are all advantageous to us. We also have a lot of grounds, including playgrounds for young children and babies as well as sizable playing fields.
