ST BENEDICT'S School in Ealing Broadway has been named as one of the 12 'best value' independent schools in the UK by the Daily Telegraph.

The national newspaper has selected 'Bennies' as one of the UK's 'best value' private schools, offering 'an excellent education for a significantly lower price'.

It is one of just two London schools included in the list, alongside Trinity School in Croydon.

According to the Telegraph, the 12 selected schools compare favourably in terms of academics with their more expensive counterparts, while offering an impressive range of co-curricular and sporting opportunities.

The article notes that even with lower fees, the chosen schools still offer generous bursaries and scholarships.

At St Benedict's, these include academic, music and sports scholarships, and the St Anselm Bursary Award, worth up to 100% of the fees.

St Benedict's Headmaster, Andrew Johnson, said: "We are delighted that the Daily Telegraph has recognised again this year the quality and value offered by a St Benedict's education."
