Monkton Combe School

co-educational boarding and day school for pupils aged 2-18. 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. With over 90% of boarders residing as full time boarders, Monkton is a busy place! 

The contacts and camaraderie that build up give the boys and girls a foundation of friendships for life. By the time the students have reached the Sixth Form they are well on the way to acquiring organisational and inter-personal skills that will help them settle quickly into life after Monkton, whether it be in a Gap year or university of their choice.

One of Monkton’s strengths is the breadth of activities available to pupils at weekends - in fact, many of our day pupils will spend all weekend at school just so they can join in the Monkton social life! Every Saturday afternoon there is a full programme of sporting activities which follow on after morning lessons and a short Chapel service. There are also some brilliant social events music, drama and sporting competitions to keep the students extremely busy at weekends!

A full weekend programme
Weekends at Monkton are full on! There is a breadth of activities available at weekends. As well as rugby, cricket, tennis, hockey and rowing there are over fifty extracurricular activities that run seven days a week, which means that there really is something for everyone at Monkton.

“As with many military families, we were reluctant to board our children but, from our very first visit, we were 100% sure that Monkton was for us.”
