Year 4 have ended the half term with a visit to Wimbledon's Buddhapadipa Temple. Children were able to draw on their knowledge of Buddhism in conversation with the resident monk. It is a truly wonderful place of worship right on our doorstep. pic.twitter.com/Ka1znsq254— Benedict Academy (@BenedictAcad) February 14, 2025

Today, Wenhao He in Year 4 gave an assembly about Chinese New Year, supported by Miss Kao.

So great to have the Pupil Parliaments from @BenedictAcad, @ParkAcad and @DL_Academy visit us yesterday!
I'm sure there were some future MPs in these groups.
