SOUTH AND WEST 05 Monkton Combe School “Far and away, Monkton knocked spots off every other school in terms of ambience, attention to detail and pastoral care.” (Former parent) Monkton Combe School, just a mile from the World Heritage City of Bath, is an independent, 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 to become trusted employees, inspiring leaders, valued friends and loving parents. A remarkable boarding culture Boarding is at the very heart of Monkton, and the unique atmosphere of the School is enjoyed by boarders and day pupils alike. All the houses reflect the spirit and ethos of the School, but each exudes its own personality generated by its pupils, houseparents and staff. The vast majority of our boarders reside at the school full-time. Busy days and full weekends 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 lively Monkton social life. As well as the mainstream sports - rugby, cricket, tennis, hockey, rowing - there are over 50 extracurricular clubs and activities that run seven days a week.
