St Benet’s Catholic Primary School
Situated adjacent to the Church – and sharing the Parish Hall – St Benet’s is a co-educational voluntary-aided school for children aged 4 to 11.
Our school has always had close links with our neighbouring school of St Edmund’s in Bungay, and in 2010, formed a Schools Federation.
The school Mission Statement says: “Our expectation is that every day FAITH is at the heart of everything we do:
Fulfil our potential
Aspire to excel
Immerse ourselves in the community
Think of others
Hold God in our hearts.”
