Bennett Memorial Diocesan School is a secondary school in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. ==History== The school was founded on 17 October 1951, by Lady Elena Bennett of Matfield, and Christopher M. Chavasse, Bishop of Rochester. The school opened to students on 8 January 1953, to 400 students and only 18 teachers. The schools' main benefactress, Lady Elena Bennett, died peacefully during the early hours of 25 October 1967. In 1976 Bennett became a comprehensive school, welcoming students of all abilities from a large part of the Diocese of Rochester rather than just Tunbridge Wells. It was shortly after this time that the Bennett sixth form was developed for A-Level students. Over the years students have travelled from as far away as Aylesford and Robertsbridge. A huge turning point in the School's life, happened in 1993, when Bennett introduced boys in Year 7. In 2003 Bennett Memorial achieved specialist school status as a technology college. It also has the silver Artsmark award, the Sportsmark award and is a Language College. In April 2011, Bennett Memorial Diocesan School gained 'Academy' status, bringing with it new freedom and opportunity. Pupils from the school were chosen to form part of a "guard of honour" for athletes at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games, displaying artistic creations their school made to celebrate the event. In 2012, the school unveiled plans for a new sixth form centre. Construction of the 'Sixth Form Study Centre' commenced in March 2013, and opened to staff and students in January 2014. In February 2014 Rt Hon Michael Gove (Education secretary) came to the school to officially open the new sixth form block. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bennett Memorial Diocesan School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
