We are an over-subscribed comprehensive secondary school of around 1,700 students and 190 staff. We are located in the centre of Monmouth, and we serve the local community as well as other nearby areas in both Wales and England. We have the benefit of a magnificent new school building that was recently completed under the 21st Century Schools programme. It is a wonderful modern facility that has education at its heart.
The school has 8 main feeder primary schools, and over 30 other primary schools. We are absolutely determined to provide an exceptional standard of education for every child that comes to our school, so that they have the opportunity to lead happy and successful lives. In order for that to happen, our students need to do two simple things - work hard and be kind. We are a welcoming and caring school that also has exceedingly high expectations of every single one of our students. We take great pride in enabling them to grow and to flourish.
The school is fully comprehensive and provides for a wide range of learning needs. Currently there are 14% of the school population on the Register for Additional Learning Needs. The range of need is from specific through to moderate as well severe learning difficulties. Monmouth Comprehensive School has a developing inclusive Specialist Resource Base. Students come from a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds and there are 13.8 % of the school population who are being supported by the government’s Pupil Deprivation grant. The school has very few students who have English as an additional language.
