Why Choose St Benedict's?
Set in expansive, green grounds and within a stones-throw of Garforth Train Station, St Benedict's Catholic Primary School is a school which gives our pupils the very best possible start to their educational journey. We are a wholly inclusive school, welcoming pupils and families from all faith backgrounds and celebrate the unique individuality of each child in our community.
St Benedict's is a highly popular school with a fantastic reputation both in the local community and beyond due to the nurturing, positive and supportive culture which permeates from the core foundations of our Catholic virtues, including Faithfulness, Courage and Respect. We are highly ambitious for our pupils and ensure that they are fully prepared for the next phase of their educational journey and lives by the time they leave us at the end of Year 6.
St Benedict's is a popular school with a rich history having served our community for over 50 years on the current site. We would encourage prospective parents for Nursery or Reception to attend our annual Open Morning each November. If you wish to visit our school at other times in the year please call the school office on 01132869819.
St Benedict's is a Catholic Voluntary Academy and the Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust is the Admission Authority. The Academy Council of St Benedict's undertakes the Admission duties in line with Trust Schemes of Delegation, Diocesan guidance and in line with the admissions Code of Practice.
