Choosing a secondary school and sixth form is about finding somewhere your child can thrive, feel supported and make the most of every opportunity. Here, Headteacher Nicholas Skilton explains what makes Benton Park a community where young people can feel they belong and achieve their best.
Families considering secondary school and sixth form options for September 2027 are invited to attend the Benton Park School and Sixth Form Open Day on Saturday 3rd October 2026.
The event offers prospective students and their families the opportunity to experience first-hand the school's vision: “Together we belong, develop character and achieve excellence.”
Our vision is more than a statement. It reflects the culture we want every student to experience every day. We want every young person to feel that they belong, to develop the character needed to succeed in life and to achieve excellence in whatever path they choose.
The school's values of kindness, resilience and responsibility underpin every aspect of school life.
