Enjoying our rights and fulfilling our dreams

Welcome to St. Ben's!

A caring community school with high ambitions for every child.

At St. Benedict’s, we are proud to serve the Small Heath community and its families. Since 1913, our school has been a place where every child is valued, supported, and inspired to succeed.

We believe that every child can achieve great things, whatever their starting point. Through high expectations, strong relationships, and an inclusive approach, we help children grow in confidence, develop a love of learning, and build the skills they need for the future.

Our school is built on three simple values: Ambition, Resilience and Respect.

These values guide everything we do - from the way we teach, to how we care for one another, to the opportunities we provide for every child. At St. Benedict’s, children are safe, happy and ready to learn. Together with our families and community, we make sure every child can truly enjoy their rights and fulfil their dreams.

A school where everyone belongs. All children are welcomed, included, and valued.

High expectations for every child. We believe in every child’s potential and support them to achieve their very best.

️Strong focus on language and communication. We help children become confident speakers and learners, especially those new to English.
