A boarding school needs an active and attractive Weekend Programme and here at Benenden there's always something exciting happening. The Weekend Programme is an unrivalled array of socials, outings, creative, physical and cultural activities - and great fun!
The School ethos of allowing girls to develop their interests and abilities in every possible way is underlined in the rich variety of activities on offer. Girls are able to try new activities, visit fascinating places they otherwise may not see, expand their skillset by earning professional qualifications and widen their cultural and social horizons, all while having a great time with their friends.
A series of activities are undertaken with boys' schools, including the very popular socials, dinners and discos. Taking part in the Weekend Programme is all included in the School fee, as is all travel to and from the venues.
The Weekend Programme is so brilliant. My friends at other schools don’t have anything like it.
