Welcome to Our School
Dear Parents, Carers and Visitors to our new school website,
A very warm welcome to Benton Dene Primary School. Formerly known at Goathland Primary School, we moved into our current site in June 2010 together with the formerly known Glebe School (now known as Benton Dene Special School). Both schools are co-located in an innovative inclusive primary campus which boasts a range of specialist areas and facilities including a very popular and successful Out of School Club (BDOOSC).
Benton Dene Primary School is a very special learning community for pupils aged 3 - 11 years. As one of the largest primary schools in North Tyneside, we can offer a range of curricular and extra-curricular activities. We value all pupils equally, whatever their background or ability. Our amazing staff are committed to offering an excellent education, opportunities and high standards of learning and pastoral care for every one of our children. Every child is encouraged to be successful and we recognise that every child is special and has their own contribution to make.
We have an extremely positive partnership with our parents and community and we have a very supportive and active Parent and Friends Association (FOBS), School Council and Governing Body. We are very proud of our reputation as a warm, welcoming family school.
The staff and governors are continually seeking the views of parents, carers and visitors to our school. We recognise that parents play an important role in the education of their children and as such we welcome your support and cooperation in making your child's time at Benton Dene Primary memorable and enjoyable. We encourage parents and carers to discuss any concerns or issues with us.
We hope this new website gives you a flavour of our wonderful, vibrant school and particularly a sense of the achievements and opportunities for our pupils. Our children make the school an exciting and stimulating place to learn and to work. If you would like to find out more about our school, please don't hesitate to call us, email or arrange a visit.
