Bentley CE Primary School is a one form entry school where there is always something exciting happening. We are well known for our excellent outcomes academically, but also for providing a broad and balanced curriculum to engage and develop the skills of every individual child.
In a busy modern world we attract families from a wide area, but very much reflect our local catchment of the villages of Bentley and Froyle. We are proud of the great feedback we get each year from all the different Secondary School as our pupils move up. Love in our hearts, courage in our learning, serving our community. LOVE "Let all that you do be done in love."
Courage "Be strong and of good courage, do not be afraid, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Community "Encourage one another and build each other up." Bentley Church of England Primary School
