In a world where all the talk is about VAT on fees, the challenges the sector faces and dare we say it, private schools having the audacity to invest their own money in their own schools for the benefit of their pupils AND the wider community, Chatsworth Schools is very proud to say that we have successfully completed the latest school development at our brilliant Benedict House Prep School in Sidcup, Kent – a large Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) 
In 2022, Chatsworth Schools committed to a multi-million pound investment in Benedict House which has seen the school double in space and the pupil numbers are well on the way to doubling, too!
The opening of this state of the art MUGA will enable Benedict House pupils to play a wide variety of games and activities on-site whilst freeing up other outdoor spaces at the school for the enjoyment of even more children throughout the school day and beyond 
We will be having an official MUGA opening with local and national dignitaries in early 2025 but this space was always only about the Benedict House children and Chatsworth Schools doing what we do best – creating as much opportunity as we can for our pupils and enabling outstanding futures 
The pictures below don’t really do the investment and school transformation justice. The scale of redevelopment at Benedict House and the speed it’s happened is something to behold. Kudos to Director of Estates and Facilities, Jonathan Ritchie, Site Manager Gooch and our CFO Fred Knipe for all of their hard work on delivering project Benedict House so far. We’re not finished just yet though 
We have limited availability for in-year joiners at Benedict House and will be raising our fees by no more than 12.5% in January should VAT be implemented as planned which will mean Benedict is adding even more value for money with improved facilities and ultra competitive fees.

We are proud to be investing in our Chatsworth Schools for the benefit of all our children and beyond!
Happy 6th birthday to Chatsworth Schools!
