On behalf of all the children, staff and governors, I would like to warmly welcome you to South Benfleet Primary School. I am extremely proud to be the headteacher of our school, leading a team of experienced, dedicated staff and working closely with families to provide the best opportunities and experiences for all children to fulfil their potential. 

South Benfleet is a place where high standards, individuality and a sense of community are fostered within a happy, safe and caring learning environment. We are a school that likes to celebrate success at every level. The life of the school is driven by enthusiasm and a desire to achieve. We aim to bring learning alive through our broad and balanced creative curriculum, making it exciting, stimulating and contextual to each learner. We want to give our children a thirst for learning that continues with them throughout their future school experiences and empowers them to become independent lifelong learners. 

We also foster and nurture a community who care for each other, where kindness is promoted and respect is strong. It is our aim that we develop the whole child, academically, socially and emotionally so that they are prepared to be well rounded, confident, responsible citizens ready to meet the challenges of the future. 

We very much look forward to welcoming new children and families and I would encourage you to visit our school and experience the learning environment for yourselves. Please contact the school office to arrange a visit. 

Mrs Kelly Hayes

Headteacher
