Story

We made it! Despite the toughest and roughest conditions we've ever faced the crew showed true Bensham Grit to battle through the 22 miles of The Great River Race on Sept 20th. Bearing in mind the additional learning needs of our students this was an incredible achievement. The whole school is so proud of the amount raised for the Sickle Cell Society.

So many other children have asked how they can also help out that we have decided that our Whole School Cross Country Run at Streatham-Croydon Rugby Club on Sept 26th will be used to raise further funds.

If you would like to sponsor any child to complete their run please add a donation to this page. You can show who you are sponsoring by adding their name ( first names only please) in the comments.
