The Junior School and Nursery provide a supportive, friendly and vibrant co-educational environment. Your child’s educational journey begins and the seeds of our Benedictine ethos are planted, nurtured and given every opportunity to flourish. In the Nursery a carefully planned and child-centred programme enables and extends learning and development. The Junior School provides a broad and balanced curriculum based on a rigorous academic core and with extensive opportunities in music, art, sport and drama. Sharing excellent facilities with the Senior School and participating in cross-curricular activities helps ease the transition at 11+ to the Senior School. There has been huge recent investment in buildings and facilities, including a full size all-weather facility at the playing fields. The next project in the Junior School will be a £6million extension to the present building. Work on this is scheduled to start in July 2016. St Benedict’s is renowned for its sporting tradition and has a national reputation for rugby. Whilst promoting the highest sporting aspirations, the school is committed to sport for all. A wide range of co-curricular activities is offered including music, drama and opportunities for Christian service and there is a programme of after-school hobbies. St Benedict’s School is unique. We are a happy, caring community in which pupils can thrive. Come and visit and see what we have to offer. You can be sure of a warm Benedictine welcome. How do you get in? Main entry is to Nursery at 3+ and Reception at 4+. There is a smaller intake of children at 7+. Parents are asked to submit a registration form. Full details of the application procedure are on the school website under Admissions. The school welcomes children of other Christian denominations and other faiths. Contact details
