Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools offer a unique and innovative system of education, known as the Monmouth Model. Our family of schools aspires towards national and international respect for delivering an exceptional all-round education for girls and boys.

At Monmouth, pupils embark on an educational journey within a distinctive community, refined over 400 years in the heart of the naturally inspirational Wye Valley. Here, they grow into rounded, grounded and self-confident young men and women equipped to excel in their chosen paths, aspiring to make a positive difference to society.

Boarding and day pupils thrive and discover their particular strengths through an impressive selection of academic subjects, outstanding facilities and a vibrant calendar of trips, expeditions, events and shared community projects.

Within our single-sex and co-educational framework, pupils benefit from the right environment at the right stage, beginning with a vibrant co-educational prep school that sets the foundation.

From age 11 to 16, as pupils mature, their learning is focused within a single-sex setting. We believe that, at this stage, boys and girls are each inspired and motivated in specific ways; at Monmouth the distracting pressures of adolescence are absent from their academic lives, while they retain the valuable benefits of joint social and co-curricular activities.

Monmouth Schools Sixth Form brings day and boarding boys and girls together at this final stage of their educational journey with us, recognising their greater maturity and focus and ensure a successful transition from school to university life.
