Welcome to Great Bentley Primary School

Great Bentley Primary School is a vibrant school where children are enthusiastic and motivated to achieve endless possibilities. Through our engaging curriculum we ensure that children can foster a passion for learning and curiosity that will help to develop high aspirations and a lifetime of memories. We believe in ensuring that children receive a well-rounded curriculum, where individuals talents can be spotted and nurtured to make sure that all children experience success and develop their full potential. Please see our wraparound care page for further details of our before and after school offering to support working families. https://www.greatbentley.essex.sch.uk/Wraparound-Care/ 

The school has a dedicated team that works hard to reach high standards in everything we do and this is further embedded through our successful relationships with parents, the local community and the other schools in the local area. We firmly believe that education is a partnership between home and school and regard you as an active partner in your child's education and value your interest and support.

A wonderful state-of-the-art Key Stage 2 building was opened in September 2024 which houses our Key Stage 2 classes. Our Key Stage 1 and early years children are based in the original Victorian school building and extension, in spacious renovated classrooms. The children are at the heart of every decision we make to ensure that they are happy, confident and that the opportunities that are provided for them are relevant to their needs both now and for the future.

I hope that this website will give you as much information as possible about our school, the staff and the many activities that our children enjoy through our curriculum and our extra-curricular activities. We want you to enjoy this website and value your feedback. Please feel free to contact us with your comments and recommendations for its development.
