Welcome to Benedict House Preparatory School

Benedict House is a warm and inclusive school where children are encouraged to flourish in a supportive environment. Catering for pupils from Pre-School to Year 6, we offer a well-rounded education that blends academic rigour with personal development. Our focus is on helping every child achieve their full potential, preparing them for the next stage of their educational journey with confidence and enthusiasm.

Rooted in the philosophy of “Towards the future as a family,” we believe in truly understanding each child as an individual. By getting to the heart of who they are, both in their personality and how they learn, we create a personalised educational experience that builds confidence and inspires excellence. This holistic approach is complemented by our commitment to academic rigour, ensuring pupils are fully prepared for secondary school, including success in the 11+ and independent school entrance examinations.

Our vibrant and diverse curriculum fosters curiosity, creativity and resilience, equipping pupils with the skills they need to thrive in an ever-changing world. Whether exploring the natural environment, engaging with the latest technologies or performing on stage, children at Benedict House grow into confident and capable learners ready for future challenges.

As a proud member of the Chatsworth Schools group, we celebrate the richness of diversity within our school community. We welcome children from all walks of life, knowing that this variety of experiences enhances the fabric of our school and the learning journey. Alongside our strong academic foundations, we emphasise vital skills such as teamwork, innovative thinking and problem-solving.

At Benedict House, we place great value on fostering a sense of belonging. Through outstanding pastoral care, we create a safe and caring environment where every child feels valued and supported. We promote kindness, respect and individuality, encouraging pupils to build meaningful relationships and develop a strong sense of responsibility towards others and the wider world.

Benedict House Preparatory School is more than a place of learning. It is a close-knit community where children are inspired to succeed and thrive. We look forward to welcoming you to our school and sharing in the exciting journey of preparing children to step confidently into the future.
