iWritten by WhatSchool from official school data (Get Information about Schools, DfE and Ofsted).Welcome to Benington Church of England Primary 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.
