A huge thank you to everyone who attended our NEAT Business Breakfast at Benfield School. It was fantastic to see so many businesses, organisations, and community groups coming together with a shared goal—to support our young people and their futures.

On 18th February 2025, St Hild’s Church of England School opened its doors to the business community, hosting an inspiring Business Breakfast in the school’s impressive CECA building.

Today, 6 February 2025, is Time to Talk Day, the nation’s biggest mental health conversation. This day encourages everyone to open up about mental health, fostering understanding and support.

At Benfield School, we believe in a well-rounded education that goes beyond academics. Our partnership with the Newcastle United Foundation plays a vital role in achieving this goal. This collaboration, recently featured on BBC Match of the Day, this portrays our commitment to providing students with valuable life skills and enriching experiences.

Gracie Rochester, a student at St Hild’s Church of England School in Hartlepool, is emerging as a prominent figure in the world of boxing. Her recent international success, securing a bronze medal while representing England’s Under-14 team, is a testament to her exceptional discipline and unwavering determination.

As part of the whole trust relational work we partnered with Carr Manor Community School in Leeds and Newcastle local authority to develop the whole trust relational practice.

As we come to the end of another year, we want to take a moment to send our warmest wishes to all our students, families, staff, and the wider community.
