Committed to improving the life chances of all children
Where we have the capacity to make a difference we are morally bound to do so.
We understand that our pupils are the future of our community. Therefore, everything we do at Benedict Academy strives to ensure that each child is successful; better placed to make knowledge-informed decisions about their future, and that of the world.
Emotional Regulation Workshop provides ample strategies on supporting children's emotions and will be led by a team of experienced staff. Please join us at Benedict Academy on the 12th November from 9AM. pic.twitter.com/2cK6LkSbtv— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) November 6, 2024

We are so grateful for a parent within our school community, Mr Georgatos, for his contribution of his time and his (delicious) food at our carnival!

We had PC Mark Towler in go visit Year 6 yesterday afternoon. He spoke to the children about how to stay alert and safe. The children were invited to ask as many questions as they wished and were impressed with Mark's anecdotal nuggets of wisdom. pic.twitter.com/k6pXKEbyIO— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) October 17, 2024
