A magical place to grow
Welcome from the Head
Welcome to Orwell Park where there has always been the belief that protecting the magic of childhood should be at the very core of the school’s ambitions. Orwell offers pupils a stunning 110-acre site in which they learn, laugh, explore, make mistakes and grow. Magnificent grounds, buildings and facilities are of immense value, but the school is most proud to be able to have such a talented and dedicated team of staff who inspire, spark joy and always put the best interest of each child first: this is where the Orwell magic is truly brought to life.
Simon O’Malley and Rachel Bailey share their thoughts as OPS joins Benenden Family of Schools
We’re delighted to share a conversation between Simon O’Malley, Head of Orwell Park School and Rachel Bailey, Head of Benenden, as Orwell Park joins the Benenden Family of Schools.
This partnership is founded on shared educational values of authenticity, individuality and a forward-thinking approach to preparing young people for the future.
By working together, we’re building on the strengths of both schools to create greater opportunities and lasting benefits for our pupils, staff and communities.
It’s an exciting new chapter and is one that celebrates collaboration and a shared vision for exceptional education.
‘‘A place where girls and boys can quietly build their characters and their confidence before setting off, best foot forward, to the most prestigious senior schools in the land’’
