Boarding

Each boarding house is supported by a team of dedicated and trusting staff whose main priority is to create a nurturing environment where pupils feel comfortable, happy and inspired to aim high in everything they do.

Students learn how to look after themselves, manage finances and prioritise time, without compromising their studies.

Although meals are still provided in the schools’ dining rooms, we encourage our students to use the house kitchens to make snacks and learn some basic cooking skills in readiness for university life and beyond.

Pupils can lean on our school nurses, our Chaplain, our school counsellors, and their House Parents and Matrons for support of any kind, whether it be pastoral, health, social or academic. Parents can contact the boarding staff at any time if they have any worries or concerns.

Monmouth School for Girls

In the centre of the Monmouth School for Girls campus, Augusta House is home to our girl boarders studying in Sixth Form. Every girl will have her own bedroom, and most will have an en-suite.

In addition to their own personalised living space, Augusta House’s comfortable and stylish common rooms are perfect for socialising.

The school’s swimming pool, sports hall, and the new performing arts centre are all on the doorstep of Augusta House, so students do not have to travel far to practice their sporting and artistic talents.

Monmouth School for Boys

Every day in boarding is special as there is so much to share and be involved with. We aim to ensure that everyone feels welcome and supported and that all our boys have an opportunity to contribute to boarding life.

Boys in Year 12 will live in one of our senior school boarding houses, either Weirhead, School or New House.

To give them more independence in Year 13, all boys move into Buchanan House, which acts as a transition between school and their next steps.

The house has a garden and a large yard as well as several common rooms with a pool table and table tennis.

Although meals are still provided in the school dining room, we encourage the boys to use the house kitchen to make snacks and learn some cooking skills in readiness for when they leave school.
