Benfield Sports College: Facilities

We are extremely lucky to have such excellent facilities at Benfield School. Our Benfield Centre for Sporting Excellence was opened in 2001 by former pupil Lee Clark. The Centre comprises of a 6 court multi-use Sportshall, a club/conference room and a Gymnastics High Performance Centre. We have excellent partnerships with two local organisations: the Northumberland Badminton Association and the City of Newcastle Gymnastics Association, both of whom have licences/leases to use the facility outside of school or community hours.

The School also has a Dance Studio and smaller Sportshall as well as our recentley refurbished Swimming Pool. We have a floodlit astroturf and acres of playing fields at our disposal.
