THE SCHOOL
St Benedict’s provides a well-rounded, seamless education which can begin in our Nursery and continue to the end of Sixth Form. The School is committed to supporting all children to de- velop their full potential, by treating them as in- dividuals, and catering for their particular needs and talents at every stage. Inspirational teach- ing, tutorial guidance and exceptional pastoral care are at the heart of the education we offer. We have a proud academic record of outstand- ing examination results and our pupils gain places at the UK’s top universities. In addition to academic success, St Benedict’s recognises the importance of educating the whole person, by encouraging principled leadership, resilience and character in our pupils, and by promoting the Christian values of integrity, fairness and generosity. This holistic approach to education is a hallmark of the School, informed by the 1500 year-old Rule of St Benedict, and there could be no better way of equipping young people for the future. At St Benedict’s, there is a vital focus on per- sonal development, through our outstanding
co-curricular programme. St Benedict’s has a distinguished sporting tradition: while many boys and girls train and compete at county and national level, everyone is encouraged to enjoy sport, teamwork and fitness. Music and Drama are both excellent; there is a strong choral tra- dition, many instrumental ensembles and fre- quent concerts demonstrating very high levels of musicianship. Termly drama productions have recently included Amadeus, Les Misérables and A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The Junior School and Nursery provide a sup- portive and vibrant environment in which to learn. Sharing excellent facilities with the Senior School, and a carefully planned induction pro- gramme, helps to ease the transition at 11+ to the Senior School, which is on the same site. Recent developments include an impressive new Sixth Form Centre and Art Department, which opened in 2016. A new Nursery and Pre- Prep Department opened in September 2017, providing our youngest pupils with a first-rate learning environment.
