Welcome to The Bentley Federation

On behalf of our Governors, staff and families, I offer you a very warm welcome to the Bentley Federation. The federation was created in September 2007 and was the first formal federation within the Walsall borough.

The federation is made up of Bentley West Primary School and King Charles Primary School, both with two forms of entry and in close proximity to each other. Bentley West also incorporates an additionally resourced provision for children with hearing impairments on behalf of the local authority.

We also operate our own child care provision for our local community as an extended service to the schools. This is known as Bentley Child Care and was formerly the Surestart Bentley Children's Centre.

Our aim is to be outstanding in everything we do so that we can improve longer term outcomes for all of our children and their families. The federation provides excellent opportunities for teachers and other staff to develop their professional expertise which impacts directly on the quality of teaching and learning for the children. Staff are able to share best practice within a professional learning community, developing an exciting and purposeful curriculum for all children.

All of our work and development is driven by making each of our centres stimulating, vibrant, learning organisations which put children first.

Miss K Magner
