Welcome to Bennerley Fields School and thank you for showing interest in our Academy. We are a successful, fun and innovative special school.

We are an age 2-16 special school for 91 pupils with a range of learning difficulties and diverse needs. The school has specialist status for communication and interaction, which underpins all teaching and learning. Bennerley Fields is a vibrant, nurturing school community where everyone is welcomed, valued and respected. Bennerley Fields is an inspirational place to learn and work. We are a strong team of pupils, staff, parents and carers and governors. We value the strong links we have with the wider community. I lead a committed, skilled and highly specialised staff who provide outstanding, challenging and exciting learning opportunities for our incredible students.

Our school is made up of two buildings. Our Primary Department is housed in a separate building and has its own outside space with suitable play equipment. The Primary block houses our pupils in Ladybirds and Dolphins and Tigers classes. The extension that houses our Community Room was officially opened in 2011. As part of this building work, the school gained a Therapy/Meeting Room and a Sensory Room. Our Main School block has one class in KS2, three classes in KS3 and three classes in KS4 with an additional two classes containing a mix of KS3 and KS4 pupils.

Around the main school building, we have extensive playing fields and open spaces with each Key Stage having its own playground. There is a large polytunnel in our school garden where the children can learn how to grow plants and vegetables. Down near the canal, there is our Forest School area which is accessed by all pupils during the school year.

Our students are independent and inquisitive learners. They never cease to amaze us with their attitude, determination and achievements. We believe strongly in teamwork and work closely with parents and carers to provide the best opportunities for our students. Together we shape our school. Together we support each other and strive to be the best we can be.

Our staff team consists of skilled, dedicated professionals, all working alongside families to meet the needs of our pupils. We have a specialist Speech and Language therapist on site two days a week on site plus access to our local community Speech and Language Therapist.

With great support and hard work, we aspire to be the very best we can be. Together we achieve amazing things.

As Headteacher, I am committed to promoting emotional wellbeing and positive mental health, we embed a culture which values the happiness and emotional welfare of all our students, staff, parents, and stakeholders.

Yours faithfully,

Jenni Wright
