Bennett is an Outstanding learning community, in the tradition of the Church of England, rooted in Christian belief and values. This means that we aim to realise the potential every single child has for excellence in academic achievement and for personal development and growth.

These high expectations characterize the Sixth Form, where Bennett students achieve excellent A Level grades. This happens because of the school’s strong shared ethos and values, our absolute belief in the potential of every student to achieve, our expectations of hard work and commitment, excellent teaching, good pastoral care, careful monitoring and support and opportunities to take part in a wide range of co-curricular activities.

In order to strengthen still further the quality of our Sixth Form a new purpose built Sixth Form Study Centre was opened in 2014.
