Mrs Benko Robbins has been teaching for 6 years and loves every single day at Sandford St Martin’s Primary School. She is especially passionate about teaching Maths, Music and P.E., where pupils are encouraged to develop confidence, creativity and a love of learning.

Outside the classroom, Mrs Benko Robbins enjoys singing, dancing and acting, as well as horse riding, reading and climbing. Her favourite animal is the otter.

Otters hold each other’s hands when they sleep so they don’t drift apart!

Peak into Olive class:

Olive Class is a positive and welcoming learning environment where pupils are encouraged to work hard, support one another and enjoy their learning. Throughout the year, Year 5 pupils explore a wide range of engaging topics, including writing focussed on The Nowhere Emporium, science topics such as Space, historical inquests into Vikings and Pollution.

Alongside our learning, we value time to relax and enjoy shared activities. Pupils particularly enjoy problem-solving challenges, creative play in the role-play kitchen, and quiet moments such as listening to slime ASMR.
