What we dislike about the school
- Older students should consider that the average age of students at the school is significantly younger than at most other schools.

This traditional school is situated in 250 acres of beautiful parkland in Kent, within easy reach of London, and Gatwick airport. It is a magnificent, safe campus, just an hour from the seaside, with outstanding facilities. Benenden village, within walking distance,
is quintessentially English with a cricket green, ancient church and village shop.
