We have a proud academic record of outstanding examination results and our pupils gain places at the UK's top universities. In addition to academic success, St Benedict's recognises the importance of educating the whole person, by encouraging principled leadership, resilience and character in our pupils, and by promoting the Christian values of integrity, fairness and generosity. This holistic approach to education is a hallmark of the School, informed by the 1500 year-old Rule of St Benedict, and there could be no better way of equipping young people for the future. At St Benedict s, there is a vital focus on personal development, through our outstanding co-curricular programme. St Benedict's has a distinguished sporting tradition: while many boys and girls train and compete at county and national level, everyone is encouraged to enjoy sport, teamwork and fitness. Music and Drama are both excellent; there is a strong choral tradition, many instrumental ensembles and frequent concerts demonstrating very high levels of musicianship. Termly drama productions have recently included Amadeus, Les Mis rables and A Midsummer Night's Dream.
