Word From The Head

Chris Wheeler

Monkton is a very special and unusual place, as you will see if you come to visit. Our pupils are grounded, real and kind but equally they are thoughtful, diligent and ambitious in their goals.

So what’s different about Monkton? Aside from the stunning views, outstanding academic exam results and passionate teachers which many schools boast, Monkton focuses on the journey of each individual in a way that is tangibly different.

As pioneers in pastoral tracking, Monkton holds true to the belief that self-discovery is the key to success; not only do happy children learn but they also explore their strengths and weaknesses, develop resilience and face challenges with greater strength. We believe in the power of failure of taking on challenges, accepting this will mean you get some things wrong and become better people because of that.

No writing, no booklet, no website will ever capture something so hard to describe; you have to come and meet us yourselves.

Principal,

School Reviews

The Johnson Family

We chose Monkton over other schools for many reasons, but the outstanding pastoral care and the fact that it was a true boarding school with nearly all boarders staying every weekend was of paramount importance to us. 3 years in, with two very different children, we have never regretted our choice...

Senior School ISI Report

High levels of success are achieved, most particularly in sport, drama and music. Initiatives such as the ‘Team Monkton’ elite extension activities programme ensure that the best athletes are continually encouraged to reach for greater success.

Hannah, Class of 2021

The supportive and accepting community of Monkton enables students to push boundaries and explore new skills through teaching that failure is a normal part of learning.

Fadi, Class of 2016

Having to manage more of my time has been a new challenge, but it has left me feeling much more confident in my ability to motivate myself to work efficiently.
