All Saints Benhilton CoE Primary School

All Saints Benhilton C.of E. Primary School is a Voluntary Aided School. We work closely with the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education, as well as the London Borough of Sutton and our Mission Statement and General Educational Aims emphasise our close ties with the Church of England.

Our aim is to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to fulfil his or her potential in whatever skills and talents they have, whilst feeling happy, safe and secure in their learning. Our school instills strong values and promotes good behaviour in every pupil; we all live by our 5 Golden Rules which are inspired by Luke Ch6 V31.

• We listen to people, we do not interrupt

• We are gentle, we do not hurt anybody

• We are kind and helpful, we do not hurt people's feelings

• We are honest, we do not cover up the truth

• We look after things, we do not waste or spoil them.

We like to work closely with parents and value their input to the school. Our weekly newsletters keep parents informed as to what is going on in the school and how they can get involved. We operate an “Open Door Policy” and welcome discussion with parents regarding all aspects of the school.
