What the school inspection says

“Pupils who attend St Benedict’s Catholic school are encouraged to be the best versions of themselves. Alongside an education that provides them with knowledge to succeed, they are encouraged to reflect and consider the wider world and the people in it. This fully embodies the school’s values of ‘wisdom, compassion and resilience’. The school sets high expectations for its pupils, and they respond to this. They take pride in their work and achievements and want to do their best. This attitude is modelled by staff effectively. Pupils have strong relationships with the adults here and feel supported, valued and well guided throughout their time at school. Pupils thrive within the school’s deeply supportive and nurturing environment. They are open minded and self-assured. Pupils embrace diversity and respect difference and say that this deepens their understanding of others.”
