St Benedict’s is a Catholic school shaped by the Benedictine tradition. Mass is celebrated in the Abbey Church at the start and end of each term, and on major Feast Days. The school emphasises Benedictine principles including Love and forgiveness, Service, Stability in relationships, Discipline, Reflection, and being mindful of the world around us. Chaplains, the St Vincent de Paul Society (SVP) and faith-based activities are part of spiritual life. There are Faith and Heritage Celebrations and opportunities for prayer and reflection across the school.
Headmaster Joe Smith emphasizes a holistic Benedictine education combining strong academic standards with personal development, pastoral care, and a values-led community rooted in Benedictine tradition.
