Yr 2 STEM visit 13th July
We are excited to be taking our Year 2 children to Suffolk One on 13th July, where they will be welcomed along with over 275 children from 8 different schools. The children will have the opportunity to work with around 13 businesses and organisations, engaging in a range of practical hands-on activities with a STEM theme. 
 
This links nicely to our event earlier in the year at the Village Hall for Science week. The overall objective is to directly link school children with the world of work, to allow them to see and talk to people from all areas and to build in them a lifelong curiosity and passion for the world of work.
 
The children will need a packed lunch and drinks bottle please. Collection will be as usual for the end of the school day. This trip is covered by the consent you filled in at the start of the year.

Bentley School's Christian Ethos

"Know that I am with you always," Matthew 28:20 We encourage the spiritual, social, moral and cultural development of the school family by embedding Christian values into everyday life. Our vision is for all children to be confident individuals, successful learners and responsible citizens who are well equipped for future life, knowing that God is with them always.
