With the School's purpose-built Theatre now complemented by the opening of the magnificent Centenary Hall, Benenden boasts first-rate facilities for hosting exciting, premium events open to the public.

Two events are currently lined up for December; Chapter House Theatre Company's most heart-warming production of A Christmas Carol, and two nights of music and dance with the impeccable Len Phillips Orchestra. 

Lessons only take up six hours of a 24-hour day! All aspects of living and learning in a boarding environment such as Benenden contribute to the successful delivery of A Complete Education. The whole curriculum that we offer is carefully tailored to ensure that we meet our aims and values through the breadth of learning opportunities provided.

In January 2022 at One Great George Street, in the presence of The President of the Benenden Society, HRH The Princess Royal, Benenden School launched its ‘Be the Change’ initiative, to broaden access and opportunity at Benenden and more widely.

Through an initial three-year fundraising campaign the School seeks to triple the number of its fully-funded bursary places.

Benenden formally opened its new Centenary Buildings – comprising the Centenary Hall and The Sir David K.P. Li Music School – in a packed day that concluded with an exceptional performance by the Philharmonia Orchestra.

Parents, Patrons, Seniors and other members of the Benenden community were invited to the School to enjoy a busy day in anticipation of the formal opening of these stunning new buildings.

Since the School began in 1923 more than 5,000 women have become Benenden Seniors – our former pupils. We are delighted that so many of them return to visit us each year as part of our programme of reunion events, but also to provide advice and guidance to current pupils in seminars and careers events.
