Welcome to the Website for Bentfield Primary School and Nursery

On behalf of the staff, pupils and governors of Bentfield Primary School I’d like to welcome you to our website. Our school caters for 240 pupils from Reception to Year 6, with additional spaces in our Nursery. We also receive enhanced funding for 24 children with complex health, physical, developmental and lifelong learning needs. These pupils are taught within the mainstream classes alongside their peers. As a consequence of our fully inclusive nature the pupils at our school have an excellent awareness of the diversity of physical, emotional and educational needs. They value this unique quality of the school and, consequently, develop a considerate, caring and respectful attitude towards each other.

It is my priority that the education our pupils receive here with us will enable them to achieve their academic potential and progress confidently into the next phase of their education. Of equal importance to this is my vision that all our children are filled with positive experiences, that they are aware of the endless possibilities that await them and that they are nurtured in order to develop within them a confidence to embrace whatever opportunities come their way. Underpinning the above is my relentless commitment to ensuring that the children of Bentfield Primary School possess the values that enable them to live well in society and that they are prepared to deal effectively with the challenges that the modern world presents. All of the staff share this vision and recognise children as unique individuals with specific talents and needs. They work tirelessly to provide a varied and engaging curriculum and a positive school experience.

I hope the website gives a true flavour of Bentfield: the well-behaved, friendly and hard-working children; the talented, welcoming staff who are passionate about achieving the very best for our pupils; the supportive and interested governors; and the caring and positive parents and friends of the community who all make this school a wonderful place to learn.
