Inspiring a Love for Learning

''Let all that you do be done with love.''

1 Corinthians 16:14

Enabling children to flourish and succeed

Our Church

St Botolph is part of the High Framland group of churches. 

The oldest part of the present structure are some arches under the tower, which date back to the latter years of the 12th century. The church that we see today dates from the 15th century, and is made from Ironstone. Sir George Gilbert Scott carried out a church restoration here in 1866-8. This included re-roofing the church, removing the gallery so that an organ could be used, and refitting and reseating the church using the old fifteenth century bench ends.

There are six bells in the ring here. Three are fairly modern and are from Taylor of Loughborough.  Two are re-castings of earlier bells and one is a modern addition to the ring. 

The church has some finely carved medieval bench-ends and some mediaeval graffiti. The bench-ends came from a nearby Abbey which was closed down during the dissolution. The church guide tells us that tests on the back boards have suggested a date of mid 15th century. Symbols carved in to the bench-ends include monks, noble men, eagles, lions, dragons and a green man. It is thought that some of these are symbols from those people who helped to finance the abbey.

Our school is fortunate to be supported by lay ministers from the local church, who regularly join us to lead worship and enrich our collective worship life. Throughout the year, we also celebrate a number of special services in church, including our Christingle celebration, our Easter service, and our Leavers’ Service. These occasions provide meaningful opportunities for our whole school community to come together in reflection, celebration, and shared faith.
