Monkton Combe School is an independent, co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 2-18. Our Senior School for pupils from Year 9 to 13 is nestled in the beautiful Midford valley just a mile from the World Heritage City of Bath.

We pride ourselves on our lively Christian ethos, excellent exam results and our strong pastoral care. At Monkton, we are setting standards for life; giving young people the qualities of character they need to become trusted employees, inspiring leaders and valued friends.

A broad and varied curriculum

We start with a proactive pastoral environment in which every pupil is known, and from which they can then grow into academically strong, enthusiastic learners. Our pupils are ambitious and well motivated, being encouraged and inspired through the care and enthusiasm of our gifted teachers. Pupils enjoy opportunities to learn and take risks both in and outside the classroom, with lessons and co-curricular activities that are creative, engaging and enjoyable, as well as being rigorous and demanding. The impact of this is notable, shown by Monkton's outstanding exam results in recent years - and, more importantly, what this means in terms of the way we add value to our pupils.

Busy days and full weekends

Boarding is at the very heart of Monkton, and the unique atmosphere of the school is enjoyed by boarders and day pupils alike. One of Monkton's strengths is the breadth of activities available to all pupils throughout the week and into the weekends - in fact, many of our day pupils will spend weekday evenings and all weekend at school so they can join in the Monkton social life!

From BBQs to inter-House sport competitions, 'Slip & Slides' to pancake parties, inflatable assault courses to ice-cream competitions, our evening activities enable pupils to settle into boarding life like a home from home. At the weekends, every Saturday afternoon there is a full programme of sporting activities after morning lessons. Events, activities and trips follow in the evenings and on Sundays, with everything from paintballing to ice skating, Theme Parks to Cinema trips as well as School productions, 'Open Mic' and Band Nights, formal dinners and so much more. There really is something for everyone and almost too much to choose from!

Transforming lives

Our outstanding pastoral care, strong moral framework and culture of service to others make us an ideal choice for parents looking for a school that will nurture their child emotionally and socially whilst developing their academic and all-round potential to the full. We aim to instil our values of confidence, integrity, humility and service in all of our pupils.
