Join us for our Open Evening: Wednesday 30 September
Benfield School’s Open Evening is on Wednesday 30 September 2026, 5 pm to 7 pm. No booking needed.
If you’re a Year 6 parent or carer starting to think about secondary school, this is your chance to see Benfield for yourself: the classrooms, the staff, and the things that make a real difference to what your child’s day here actually looks like.
What’s on the night
Meet our staff. Talk directly to the people who’ll be teaching your child.
Meet our pupils. Current students will be around all evening to answer questions, honestly, about what it’s really like to be part of Benfield.
Tour the facilities. See the swimming pool, gymnastics centre and 3G pitch for yourself, all used regularly as part of school life, not just for special occasions.
Hear from the headteacher. Mr Anthony Martin will talk about where Benfield is heading and what your child can expect.
Learn more about Benfield and the opportunities it offers. From university partnership programmes to international trips and language exchanges, find out what’s available beyond the classroom.
Come along
There’s no need to book. Just come through the doors between 5 pm and 7 pm on the 30th September, and someone will point you in the right direction.
If you can’t make the open evening, or you want to find out more beforehand, our transition page has everything you need to know about moving to Benfield in Year 7:
