Founded in 1923, Benenden is one of the leading boarding schools in Britain, and is situated in 250 acres of attractive parkland in Kent, the Garden of England, just an hour from London.
Over 80% of students are boarders and more than two thirds will stay in School on a Saturday night while others take advantage of the more flexible boarding model.
Above all, students – whether boarders or day students – relish in all that life in a boarding school has to offer, to enjoy
their learning, develop intellectual curiosity and be ambitious, while
learning to achieve balance in their lives. Benenden fosters the need to value oneself
and others. In so doing, students become responsible and
considerate citizens and grow into a confident,
positive young women who will play an active part in society.
