Year 7 entry, September 2027
See Benfield for yourself before you choose.
Come along to our open evening. Meet staff, tour the school and see Benfield for yourself. No booking needed, just turn up. Can’t make it? Use the form below, and we’ll send you more information.
If you’d like to speak to a member of staff, call 0191 265 6091.
Can't make it on the night?
Fill this in and we’ll send you more information and photos from the evening.
Filling this in isn’t the same as applying for a Year 7 place. That’s done through Newcastle City Council.
What your child gets to experience at Benfield
Three things that shape everyday life here, not just the prospectus.
Facilities most secondaries don't have
A swimming pool, a gymnastics centre and a 3G pitch, all on site.
PE isn’t a converted hall here.
Careers and Personal Development, from Year 7
NEAT’s Careers and Personal Development Programme brings university links and employer contact into school life from day one, not just in Year 11.
International trips
Pupils travel abroad as part of school life, not as a one-off extra for a few.
Relational Practice
We know our pupils well; we know what motivates them and encourage a lifelong love of learning.
Relational practice
We know our pupils well, we know our families well, and we know our community well. That’s also why we’ve introduced a smartphone ban, keeping the focus on relationships in the classroom and around school.
