This is a warm, caring and kind place to be because:

We take great pride in providing a diverse range of activities for you and your family. The sporting facilities at Benfield School, part of the Newcastle East mixed multi Academy Trust (NEAT), are used by the pupils through the school day and then the doors open to the community. The community programme is run by two separate organisations that make use of the school site during evenings, weekends and school holidays.

We have available:
