School Information

It is essential that education enables young people to secure the greatest possible success and fulfilment in academic and other areas. Kings Monkton School has had a strong track record in this respect since its foundation over 140 years ago and we believe that such success can best be achieved when young people are given the opportunity to play to their strengths, rather than being forced into a mould. From my very first visit to Kings Monkton I was captivated by the happy, caring and supportive atmosphere that pervades the school. We endeavour to know each pupil well, so that parents and staff can work together to encourage and nurture them at every stage of their education – whilst also laying firm foundations for independence in later life. At the same time, we want our pupils to be happy, because happiness breeds success. School should be enjoyable, as well as challenging! Our enviable city centre location gives us the opportunity to take advantage of the many experiences the city of Cardiff provides for enrichment in our national culture and heritage, whilst our involvement with CfBT Education Trust enables us to incorporate a very special, global perspective into our curriculum. We believe in teaching the importance of participating fully in the community. This begins with the school community itself where we foster an ethos of inclusivity – not exclusivity. You should find some of the information you are looking for contained within these pages, although there really is no substitute for seeing the school in action for yourself so please contact us to arrange an individual visit. You will be most welcome. Nick Dorey, Principal
