Benington Church of England Primary
Inspiring care, respect and trust for all, in our Christian community

Welcome

Dear Visitors,

I am very proud of our small, caring school where all pupils are valued, nurtured and encouraged to achieve their full potential. We are a church school, but welcome children of all faiths and backgrounds. I am Jewish and we have children on role who do not subscribe to any religion and those who do. We pride ourselves on our fully inclusive nature.

At Benington we believe that learning is a journey in which we teach our children the way, such that they then maintain it into maturity (proverbs 22:6) and by way of equipping them for that journey, we are committed to promoting a growth mindset. We challenge any sense of limitation and ensure we are fully inclusive. As Paul said in his letter to the Phillipians, “I can do all things through him that strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13 ESV)
 
Our vision ‘Inspiring care, respect and trust for all in our Christian Community is underpinned by the concept of 'Love your neighbour' from the story of the Good Samaritan, Luke 10:25-37. We care for everyone, and show love and respect for ourselves and others, setting high standards and trusting each other so that we can all flourish. 
 
Our school is driven by a contextually-appropriate theologically rooted Christian vision of education that reflects its foundation as a Church school, meets the needs of the school community, and enables everyone to flourish.

Vulnerable pupils are supported through our programme of nurture and counselling and consequently make outstanding progress. Effort in all areas of the curriculum and for all children, is rewarded and self-esteem and self-worth are raised. Our school is an exciting and stimulating place to learn, where all talents are nurtured and all achievements celebrated.

We fully understand the importance of positive home-school partnerships and we are committed to working with you. Links with parents are established early through a programme of pre-school to school readiness. All learning is seen as a partnership between pupils, home and school.

Our Christian Values-led education underpins everything we do. Each term we focus on one value. We celebrate our Benington Bees – pupils who have strived to encapsulate the current value.

The school is split into 4 classes; Acorn, Willow  Beech & Oak.
