Bensham Manor School

Summer Fair this Saturday at 11am. Hope to see you all there!

Eid Mubarak to the Bensham families who celebrated Eid during the week.

After a wonderful half term, including a visit from the ice cream van today, we break up for Easter at 1.20pm tomorrow. It is also a m***i day so pupils can wear their own clothes. Pupils will be bringing home an Easter egg and a packet of bagels- please check bags. This terms newsletter will be sent via email tomorrow so please check it out. Wishing all the Bensham community a wonderful Easter break and looking forward to seeing all the children return on Tuesday April 19th.

This week we celebrated International Women’s Day.

Bensham Manor will be celebrating World Book Day tomorrow and Friday. Tutor groups have been decorating their classroom doors in a ‘Guess the Book’ activity; Friday, pupils can dress up as a character from their favourite book with funds being raised for the Book Trust and there are a variety of activities taking place including a quiz and the Masked Reader.

Bensham Manor School is delighted to announce that we have been awarded Gold Investors in People.

This week we are celebrating Chinese New Year. We have a beautiful display in our reception area to support pupils.

Tomorrow, January 27th, is Holocaust Memorial Day. This week in lessons pupils have studied events leading up to the Holocaust. Pupils have shown tremendous empathy, maturity and compassion for the Jewish and other persecuted communities.

Huge thanks to Flip Out, Croydon who have donated two passes which we will be raffling at the Christmas Fayre on November 27th.

Bensham Manor’s first ever Christmas Fayre will be held here at Bensham Manor on Saturday November 27th from 10-2pm. Lots of different stalls, games, food, raffle, tombola. Please join us.

Dear families, I understand that you may have some questions following this evenings briefing from Boris Johnson. I am currently working through the guidance and how it affects Bensham and will be in touch shortly. Many thanks. Fiona Robinson.

This week is anti-bullying week. Please wear odd socks on Friday.
