St. Benedict’s and St. Mary’s is situated on a large campus with a separate junior and senior yard. We have a playing field for outdoor sports and playtime in fine weather. We have a large hall which is used for indoor sports and for hosting school events such as assembly and our annual Christmas concert.
In 2015 Difference Days kindly funded and put together a Role Play Room for the junior classes. It contains a Garage, Building Site, Supermarket, Travel Agency, Hospital, Restaurant, Hairdressers, and a Post Office. Learn more about Difference Days.
Difference Days also redeveloped our overgrown school garden and built an outdoor classroom for us. The pupils plant, grow and look after the garden and enjoy lessons outdoors on sunny days.
Our school is equipped with a new, fully stocked, library which the children visit and borrow books from throughout the year.
We greatly value the parents of our pupils and encourage parental involvement. There are many classes available to the parents in our school throughout the year. These classes, amongst other events, are held in our dedicated parent's room.
