In our first week back of the school year today we remember children across the globe who do not have freedom of access to education. Every school should be a sanctuary of growth, even amidst conflict. No war should rob children of their potential or dreams.  @EAA_Foundation

Brecon activity week trip delayed ETA at Bennett will not be 430, will confirm times when closer to school. @bennettmemorial

It’s Activities’ Week 2023 at Bennett. For many of our Y11 and Y12 students their adventures started last week as they departed on expedition to Morocco. Here’s a taster of their time there so far..

The Y9 residential trips are on day 3 of their action packed visits. From riding the waves in Skern to the horses in Brecon and from the luxury of the Chateau in Normandy to the teepees in Dorset we wish them a continued fantastic time away with their teachers.
