Marshall boarding house is named after John Marshall who was involved in founding Benenden School in 1924. The boarding house was built in 1925 and, though modernised, retains some of the original character as well as the aspirational aims of its namesake. Our aim is to provide a safe and happy environment in which the girls and their parents feel fully supported throughout their time in Marshall. The house has a warm and family orientated atmosphere. There is a strong sense of community and loyalty amongst the Marshall girls and they support one another with pride and encouragement. We believe in the importance of being welcoming to all, embracing every opportunity and striving to be the best we can be.
