Benedict Biscop C.E. Primary School
Dear Parents/Carers
I am delighted that you are considering Benedict Biscop Church of England
Primary School for the primary education for your son or daughter. The
school is a Voluntary Aided Primary School for children aged 3-11 years.
Children are admitted to our purpose built Nursery on a part time basis.
Children in Reception to Year 6 attend full time. We are very proud
of our school and recent building work has improved the facilities for
our children.
St. Wilfrid's, which is an ecumenical church, meets
nearby.
Our children feed into Venerable Bede Church of England Voluntary Aided Secondary School so that a continuous pathway of Christian education is offered to all out children.
I hope that you find our website interesting and valuable as you
make a decision about your child's journey in education and that
you take the opportunity to meet with me and discover what our school
is able to offer your child.
Our mission at the school is to create a safe, stimulating, happy environment
within which all members of our community realise their full potential
through active involvement in learning, in the light of the Christian
Faith. Our SIAS Inspection described the school as a place where "Christian love is lived".
Our school may be the first experience which your child will have of
school. We are all keen to see that this is a very positive experience
which encourages a love of learning from the very first day.
We believe that we can achieve the best for your child by close co-operation
between home and school.
This website is intended to give you more information about life and
work in the school.
Throughout the Primary school there are regular meetings with parents and opportunities for you to share in your child's education.
We look forward to developing a partnership with you.
Paula Thompson
Headteacher
