Welcome to Botwell House Catholic Primary School

Head's Welcome

 

Dear Parents

Welcome to Botwell House Catholic Primary School. Botwell House is a vibrant, caring, Christian community where everyone works together to achieve our catholic mission. Our Mission Statement states that we as a school are

"distinguished by the care, courtesy and concern extended to all its members, regardless of cultural differences and strives to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ to:

Love one another as I have loved you

 

Through a partnership between home, school and parish and through a broad and balanced curriculum, each valued individual is encouraged to grow in his or her journey of faith and strive towards excellence."

All individuals who are welcomed into our school are valued as unique creations of God. It is our aim to foster within each child a deeper personal relationship with God. We want each young person to become confident, caring, thinking individuals who want to aspire and reach their potential.

We have within our school a harmonious, active learning environment where all children feel safe and secure. Each valued individual will have the opportunity to grow with the support of talented staff who are committed to the development of the whole person and who care about their pupils.

   Virtue of the Week: Co-operation

• Co-operation  is about working together peacefully
   
• Co-operation is about sharing your tools and your workspace
• Co-operation is about doing what you have been asked to do
• When we co-operate, we get on well with each other
   

Important Dates for your diary:

School closes at 1pm on Friday 23rd July. We re-open to children on Monday 6th September 2010 at 8:45am. Have a lovely summer holiday and thank you for all your support throughout what has been a very successful year. Please check starting dates for Reception and Nursery children carefully.

School fleece jackets: The order has been sent off and the jackets should hopefully be here for the beginning of the Autumn term.

 Water bottles: Please remember to send in a bottle of water with your child now that the weather is getting warmer (sports cap please!)

Sun hats Please ensure your child brings a hat to school every day. The sun is shining at the moment and there is very little shade in the playgrounds. Sun hats are available to buy in the school office. These are the only hats children are permitted to wear. Also please apply sun cream to your child before they come to school. Thank you

School Uniform: Please ensure children are in correct school uniform. Summer uniform may now be worn. Please ensure that all uniform is clearly named. PE bags, book bags, sun hats and ties are on sale in the school office.  Jewellery of any kind is not permitted. This includes earrings. If your child has pierced ears please ensure earrings are removed before school. Thank you.

School PE kit: All PE kits must include a plain white t-shirt, navy blue shorts (not cycling shorts), plimsolls/trainers and spare socks. School track suits may be worn for outdoor PE and are the only optional item. These are available from Kevin's in Greenford.

Earrings: Please note that earrings are not permitted in school at any time for health and safety reasons. If your child is getting his/her ears pierced, please wait until the beginning of the school summer holiday so that the ears have time for the 6 week healing period. Thank you.

Contact Numbers: Please ensure we have up to date contact numbers and any change of address in the school office. This is really important in case we need to contact you in an emergency.

Texting Service: Again, please ensure we have correct mobile numbers as we do use these to send reminders through our "school to parents" texting service. Thank you.

Beat the bully: Listen to the song composed by a group of our Year 5 and 6 children during a day long workshop on how to beat bullying. We think they have done a brilliant job and hope you enjoy listening to it.
