St. Benedict’s Primary is the latest school to join the Trust, in September 2023. Opened in 1979, St. Benedict’s is a Catholic community committed to providing a consistently safe, positive, rewarding and happy learning environment.

The school has high expectations for the children in its care and aims to encourage them to learn, develop, and grow into responsible, spiritual young people within a climate of respect, warmth and understanding underpinned by the Gospel values.

St Benedict's is proud of the successes its children achieve, academically and also in sporting and musical events.

The school provides an exciting curriculum that prepares children to become active members of society, and aims to inspire all pupils to rise to the challenges that will enable them to develop the skills and personal qualities and to become successful life-long learners.

The school has strong links with its parish church, St. Simon Stock in Walderslade, which further enhances the spiritual and moral development of the community it serves.
