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. The school is very proud of our nursery which forms part of the Foundation Stage. It was purpose built and opened in 2000. Children are admitted to the Nursery on a part time basis, either mornings or afternoons.

St. Wilfrids’, which is an ecumenical church, meets on the school premises.

I hope that you find our prospectus 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 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.
