All Saints Benhilton C.of E. Primary School is a Voluntary Aided School. We work closely with the Southwark Diocesan Board of Education as well the London Borough of Sutton and our Mission Statement and General Educational Aims emphasise our close ties with the church.

Our aim is to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to fulfil his or her potential in whatever skills and talents they have, whilst feeling happy, safe and secure in their learning. Our highly skilled and committed team of teaching and support staff work hard to fulfil this aim. Our school instills strong values and promotes good behaviour in every pupil; we all live by our 5 Golden Rules which are inspired by Luke Ch6 V31.

• We listen to people, we do not interrupt
• We are gentle, we do not hurt anybody
• We are kind and helpful, we do not hurt people's feelings
• We are honest, we do not cover up the truth
• We look after things, we do not waste or spoil them

We like to work closely with parents and value their input to the school. Our regular newsletters keep parents informed as to what is going on in the school and how they can get involved. We operate an “Open Door Policy” and welcome discussion with parents regarding all aspects of the school.

All Saints Benhilton is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

'And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.'
- Hebrews 13:16

The Good Samaritan story teaches us that knowledge alone is not enough and faith alone is not enough. We need knowledge, faith and love in order to look after all of our ‘neighbours’ and change the world. God created us to make a difference in our world and we wish for our children both learning through knowledge and learning through faith so that they can rise to the challenge of what God would wish us to do and do it with and through love. The parable offers us a vision of hope, showing that enemies can be friends, that compassion has no boundaries and that we must not judge others on the basis of their religion or ethnicity. To give rather than take. To put others’ needs above our own. To ‘Go and do likewise’ Luke 10:37.
