Kings Monkton School

The school operates under the mantra 'be the best you can be,' focusing on creating a happy, safe, and inclusive community. It emphasizes a holistic approach that values individual needs, wellbeing, and the development of confidence and character.

The school provides a broad and balanced curriculum across Preschool, Primary, Secondary, and Sixth Form stages. It utilizes small class sizes—capped at 18 in Key Stages 1 and 2, and dropping to eight pupils per class for GCSE and A Level—to facilitate 1-1 teaching and differentiated learning. Additional academic offerings include an 'Extend Programme' for pupils requiring further challenge.

The school’s most recent Estyn Monitoring Inspection in June 2025 highlighted high-quality teaching, an inclusive ethos, and strong leadership. Pupils are prepared for future success through a focus on both academic outcomes and personal development.

The school maintains a dedicated Wellbeing Team to support the emotional and pastoral needs of pupils. Additionally, the school provides specific services for Additional Learning Needs (ALN) to ensure individual requirements are met.

Kings Monkton School is a non-selective, inclusive private school. Prospective families are invited to contact the school office via phone or email to enquire about the admissions process.

The school operates on a three-term structure (Autumn, Spring, and Summer). The academic year includes scheduled half-term breaks, bank holidays, and designated INSET days for staff training.

The school is housed in a building over 150 years old located in Cardiff. The campus provides a learning environment that incorporates modern technology and innovations alongside its historic grounds.

The school offers a diverse range of extracurricular activities, including creative arts, musical performances, and various clubs. Examples include orchestra, Eisteddfod participation, in-house musical productions, and lunchtime clubs such as Warhammer.
