Thomas Bennett Community College
We are an inclusive community school that celebrates the diversity of our students and allows them to develop a clear understanding of why achievement matters to their future goals and aspirations.
We have high expectations and standards for our students, supporting them to achieve excellent academic outcomes, develop key life skills and expand their perspectives through our 7-year curriculum.
Our staff are highly skilled, with teaching and learning at the heart of all we do. Working with Stuart Smith, our Executive Headteacher, and through the cornerstone of ASPIRE, we seek to develop our students' achievements, self confidence, pride in themselves and their community, independence, respect for themselves as well as others and their effort as the key to success.
