Boothville Primary School in its own words
In its own words: "Boothville Primary School is committed to serving the local community and its surrounding areas. We recognise the multi-cultural, multi-faith and ever changing nature of the United Kingdom and therefore those we serve. His Majesty’s Government emphasizes that schools are required to ensure that key ‘British Values’ are taught in all UK schools."
From the headteacher's welcome: "Welcome to 4M! All the class names in Year 4 are inspired by British artists. At the beginning of the year the children spent some time getting to know the artist their class is named after. 4M is named after William Morris. William Morris was alive between 1834 - 1896 and he was involved with the Arts and Craft movement."
The school runs a breakfast club from 7:45am and after-school care, from £4 per session.
