The Curriculum
Inspirational teaching, with an emphasis on good study skills, independent learning and academic enrichment sums up our approach to the curriculum, which is broad in Year 7 before A-level choices are made for sixth-form study.
Games & The Arts
St Benedict’s has a distinguished sporting tradition: many boys and girls train and compete at county and national level, and everyone is encouraged to enjoy sport. Music and drama are both excellent; there is a strong choral tradition, many instrumental ensembles and termly drama productions.
Pastoral Care
St Benedict’s provides a distinctive education in a happy, caring community. From the very beginning pupils receive lots of individual support, from their tutor, head of year, subject teachers and fellow pupils. Every pupil is assigned to a tutor, who monitors their academic progress as well as their happiness and wellbeing at school. One-to-one meetings take place every two weeks, offering encouragement and support so that each individual can thrive.
University Places
Top destinations include: Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, Bristol, Exeter, Birmingham and Nottingham.
