News - Formal Opening of the 3G Pitch

Friday 26 January 2018

Students, parents and staff at Bennett Memorial School are delighted to welcome the Parliamentary Under Secretary for Sport and Civil Society, Tracey Crouch, MP, to open our brand new, state-of-the-art all weather playing surface. The full size 3G pitch, which commands a superb position in the grounds of Bennett Memorial, provides a spectacular setting for team sports at the school. Headteacher Jon Sparke explains: “We are very proud of the collective effort that has brought us to the position where we are able to offer our students such outstanding facilities. This is the product of the generosity of Bennett parents, combined with the fundraising efforts of our students. We are delighted that the Minister for Sport has joined us to declare the pitch open. The pitch has already furthered the quality of what we can offer in terms of sport and we are looking forward to still greater success in this area.”
