St. Benedict's Academy

We promote improvement in all sectors of education and at all stages

“Inspiring and transforming lives through learning”

We promote improvement in all sectors of education and at all stages of the learning journey, from the early years to adult and continuing education.

The mission has a strong focus on improving outcomes in ways which seek to eliminate the inequity which currently exists amongst learners from different backgrounds and from particular vulnerable groups.

The mission reflects our commitment to playing a lead role in promoting strong partnership working amongst the key partners supporting and delivering education. We believe our aspirations for improvement in education are shared by all of our key partners .These can only be achieved by working together co-operatively, with mutual respect for, and understanding of, our different roles, responsibilities and relationship.

We believe that children actively construct theories about their world and test their hypotheses through meaningful hands-on experiences as well as social interactions and relationships with their teachers and their peers.

We foster children’s imagination, curiosity, inquiry, creativity, critical thinking and problem solving to shape a lifelong passion for learning through the whole development of the child: physical, intellectual, emotional and social.

We educate children to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world where the ability to problem-solve, innovate, learn independently and cooperate is of paramount importance.
