Amen Shoebox Appeal

We will be supporting the shoebox appeal alongside the church once again this year, linking this to our value of generosity with the children. Leaflets have been sent home with your child for each family yesterday. If you wish to complete your own box please attach the leaflet to the decorated box as per the leaflet. However, we also welcome any small gifts from our families so the children can make up boxes with the donations received. More information about suitable gifts can be found on the leaflet sent home and the Attached leaflet. The deadline for gifts is half term please (Thursday 23rd October), allowing time for boxes to be packed and prepared for delivery.

Poppy Appeal items

We have a selection of poppies and gifts in school from the British Legion for parents / children to purchase. School council will be selling items at break time. Please send in some change for them to purchase. We are suggesting £1 - £2 for most items. Parents are also welcome to come in to school at the end of the day to purchase items, there is a QR code on the tin to allow for donation by card.

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.
