To foster a spirit of cooperation and friendship between home, school and the wider community.
To enable everyone to move on with confidence, positive memories and lasting benefits of their time with us.
Our School’s philosophy

Our philosophy is founded on the belief that every child is an individual and with encouragement, hard work and praise can develop their potential to the full and achieve high standards.

It is the responsibility of the school to provide a secure and nurturing environment where pupils enjoy learning and grow into confident and happy individuals ready to face the diversity of future challenges and capable of making informed choices and decisions.

Small class sizes for outstanding private education

There are never more than 160 pupils enrolled at Benedict House with small classes. This means that your child will receive a personal private education that will be tailored to their needs. Our skilled and dedicated teachers are able to pick up on, and deal with, those issues that go frequently unnoticed in larger state and independent schools.
