Head's Welcome

Mr D Horishny

Headteacher

Welcome to St Andrew’s Benn C of E Primary School, where F.A.M.I.L.Y is more than a motto – it’s the way we live, learn and care for one another every day.

Our fantastic children, dedicated staff and vibrant community make our school a place filled with warmth, ambition and joy. Guided by our Christian values of Respect, Compassion, Courage, Forgiveness, Generosity, Thankfulness, Perseverance, Honesty, Friendship, Kindness, Peace and Love, we work together to give every child the very best start in life.

We believe learning should be exciting, meaningful and full of wonder, inspiring curiosity and helping pupils see the magic in the world around them while growing into confident, responsible digital citizens. We encourage children to think deeply, explore independently and make real‑life connections, enriched by experiences that help them discover talents, build resilience and develop essential skills.

Through these opportunities, and with the support of our whole school community, our pupils learn to explore, create, lead and reflect, gaining the knowledge, character and confidence to flourish academically, socially and personally, and to make a positive difference in their world.
