September Starters

Congratulations to September '20 starters who have received their places at St Benedict's. 

We are delighted that you will be joining us and cannot wait to welcome you and your child into our school family. Things may look a little different at the moment but we will make sure that your child feels welcome and confident to walk through the doors in September.  As soon as I have received your contact information from the Local Authority (around 2/3 weeks time) I will be in touch with information and photos to share with your child. 

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with me on headteacher@stbenedicts.cheshire.sch.uk if you have any questions. If you didn't have chance to visit the school, I am happy to have a conversation over the phone to tell you a little more about St Benedict's. 

Kind regards

Welcome to our school website. We hope it will answer all your questions and help you to understand the rich and varied experiences we offer to the children in our care.

St Benedict’s is a one-form entry primary school nestled in beautiful surroundings in the town of Handforth. We are a welcoming, inclusive family school with a strong Catholic ethos, a sense of community and a commitment to excellence for all children in our care.
​
We are very proud of our children – they are bright, energetic, kind and helpful and always strive to do their best for the love of God and others.

The team of staff all work hard in partnership with supportive and engaged parents and alongside the parish of St Benedict’s, to nurture children and to ensure they receive an excellent catholic education.

Our curriculum is broad and balanced and we strive to ensure all children achieve their potential in a kind and caring atmosphere. We do this by nurturing each child’s uniqueness in the image and likeness of God and responding to individual needs. We want each child to be successful in their learning and to make a meaningful contribution to the world.
​
You are warmly welcomed to come and visit us and see our school in action.

Kind Regards,
Hannah McGuire
