A dynamic co-educational school in a stunning location. A leading co-educational day and boarding school for pupils aged 3–18. Founded in 1614, we combine over 400 years of heritage with a forward-thinking education that inspires ambitious young minds. Located in the safe and picturesque market town of Monmouth, in the heart of the Wye Valley, we offer academic excellence, outstanding pastoral care, and a strong focus on wellbeing. Supported by a substantial annual endowment from our founder, William Jones, we continually invest in our facilities while maintaining competitive fees and providing generous bursaries.
World-class education. Our world-class academic offering combines a broad curriculum with personalised support to ensure every student thrives. For international students, our school serves as a gateway to a truly British education that balances academic rigour with personal growth. In Senior School, students choose from a broad range of subjects benefiting from small class sizes and highly qualified, dedicated teachers who provide individual attention and specialist learning support where needed. This foundation leads seamlessly into Sixth Form, where students explore intellectual passions through a large selection of A levels, BTECs and CTECs, the EPQ, plus an enriching curriculum designed to promote resilience and readiness for university and the workplace. Strong exam results and around 60% Russell Group university entries reflect our commitment to academic excellence, with students going on to excel in fields such as engineering, languages, business, medicine, and the arts.
Boarding. Approximately 20% of our students are boarders, living in five distinctive boarding houses that provide the highest standards of care and a true home-from-home atmosphere. Each house has its own unique character, fostering a warm and welcoming community supported by dedicated Housemasters and matrons. For older students, our Sixth Form boarding houses offer ensuite study rooms, allowing greater independence in a structured and supportive environment, ensuring a smooth transition to university life.
Health and wellbeing. Beyond academics, our pastoral care is second to none. From the moment a student arrives, they are welcomed into a warm, family-like atmosphere. Our focus on emotional well-being and personal development ensures that students build confidence, resilience, and lifelong friendships. The breath-taking natural surroundings of Monmouth also provide a safe and peaceful setting, offering students the opportunity to enjoy outdoor activities, sports, and adventure as part of their co-curricular educational experience.
Our specialisms. Academic excellence and outstanding pastoral care are at the heart of Haberdashers’ Monmouth School, helping every student reach their full potential. Our four specialisms set us apart. Sport and Outdoor Learning, led by former international rugby player Richie Rees, develops teamwork, resilience, and leadership through exceptional coaching and adventure. Performing Arts, inspired by renowned conductor and alumna Dame Jane Glover, provides outstanding opportunities in music and drama. Design, Fashion and Textiles, under the patronage of Professor Jimmy Choo, combines creativity with industry insight. Meanwhile, our commitment to Sustainability places environmental responsibility at the heart of school life, empowering students to become confident and conscientious global citizens.
The Monmouth 100. We want every student to leave with both breadth and depth of experience. Our Monmouth 100 co-curricular programme is designed to do just that, offering a vast range of opportunities beyond the classroom. Whether it’s beekeeping or bridge club, ceramics or cycling, web design or water polo, there is something to inspire every interest and talent. Activities take place throughout the week after school, with additional options available on Saturday mornings. These sessions are compulsory for boarders and optional for day pupils, and we encourage all students to embrace the many opportunities available to develop new skills, discover passions, and build lasting friendships.
