Bennett Memorial Diocesan School

Bennett Memorial Diocesan School is an all ability co-educational academy in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England, which caters for students from age 11 to 18.

The school was founded on 17 October 1951 by Lady Elena Bennett of Matfield and Christopher M. Chavasse, Bishop of Rochester.

In 1976 Bennett became a comprehensive school, accepting students of all abilities from a large part of the Diocese of Rochester rather than just Tunbridge Wells.
