Description
Monmouth School for Girls is Independent Secondary school for kids aged 11 to 18 (Gender - girls )
“Light, welcoming buildings in beautiful countryside, create an inspiring home from home where learning comes naturally.” Even the buildings at Monmouth School for Girls embody the school’s ethos of combining the best of traditional values with the modern needs of today’s students. Ultra-modern, purpose-built facilities nestle alongside beautifully restored listed buildings, providing a stimulating environment where pupils can focus on their academic goals, feed their personal interests and belong to a wider community.There are no typical pupils at Monmouth School for Girls. Every girl has her own personal strengths and goals to strive for, from musical and sporting achievements, or academic excellence, to a huge range of individual aspirations, ambitions and objectives in life as well as during their time at school.
Facilities
Academic
As one of the UK’s leading private schools, we provide an inspirational education experience that ignites the spark in students who will be the highly-skilled workforce of the future. The curriculum, which is robust and exciting, is based on the National Curriculum but is not constrained by it. They introduce pupils to a wide range of subjects in their early years at the school and they usually go on to take nine or 10 subjects at GCSE. They are delighted to confirm that our students will not be affected by plans announced in October 2021 by the exam regulator, Qualifications Wales, to revamp Wales GCSEs. They recognise the importance of studying separate GCSES in Biology, Chemistry and Physics and appropriately preparing our students for their A levels and beyond.At Monmouth, they will continue to offer GCSEs in all three science subjects – Biology, Chemistry and Physics – and maintain a clear and separate identity for each. We will also not be affected by Qualifications Wales’ proposals to provide fewer GCSE exams for Modern Languages and Maths.

Things to note
Co-curricular
At Monmouth School for Girls, we believe it is vital to support each girl in finding a balance between academic and co-curricular activity. A huge range of exciting clubs and societies are run to make this possible and help each pupil to discover and develop her talents.Whether it is music, drama, science or sport the girls are interested in, there is something for every pupil at Monmouth School for Girls. Enjoyment is at the heart of co-curricular activities here, and the dedicated staff do their utmost to ensure the girls’ lives and wellbeing are enriched during these invaluable sessions.
Sport
Teamwork, leadership, and a sense of responsibility are all qualities we prize highly at the school and sport is an ideal platform for encouraging and building these virtues. Sport is highly valued and complements academic studies allowing pupils to flourish in all areas.We offer all pupils the opportunity to maximise their sporting potential, through both PE lessons and an extensive extra-curricular programme. The aspiration is that every pupil will take with them the physical ability and confidence to participate in sport beyond education and thus ultimately develop a healthy lifelong interest in physical activity.
The Arts
With outstanding facilities and inspirational staff, our reputation for Drama, Music and Dance is second to none. Of course, they focus on performance, but they also encourage students of all ages and abilities to experience the joy of these disciplines. They own and run The Blake Theatre – a well-known professional venue and public space on the site which is fully equipped with state-of-the-art sound and lighting. The senior school productions, particularly the joint Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools productions, are aimed at every pupil from Year 7 right through to Year 13.
