Bennett Memorial Diocesan School is a Church of England Aided Comprehensive School in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. It was founded in 1951 as a Church of England school for girls. The original school building was purchased by the Church using funds donated by Lady Elena Bennett. The School opened in 1953.
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. Bennett started to accept boys in 1993 and in 2003 achieved specialist school status as a technology college.
