School Description

Pupils at Monmouth School for Boys, because of the clear supportive ethos and the breadth of opportunity offered, feel a strong sense of belonging. It is a kind and caring community. All staff, both teaching and non-teaching, are committed to providing high-quality care and guidance to support pupils. During their time at the school, nearly all pupils make secure progress, develop a wide range of skills, and attainment at both GCSE and A Level are consistently above national averages. The school makes highly effective use of its facilities and grounds and these enhance the extensive curriculum offer. Coupled with an extremely wide range of extracurricular activities and educational trips, pupils have regular authentic opportunities to learn and develop new talents and skills. At Key Stage 4 and in the Sixth Form, the school’s curriculum is tailored to meet the interests, needs and future aspirations of pupils highly successfully. Teachers apply their expert knowledge of public examination requirements highly effectively. In the best lessons, teachers entice pupils into learning and use a range of approaches to continually evaluate and develop their pupils’ knowledge. Where teaching is less effective, lessons are overdirected and constrained. Staff know their pupils extremely well and, where appropriate, support pupils beyond lessons pastorally and academically, for example through ‘subject surgeries’, the Chaplain, Medical Centre and Library. This holistic approach supports pupils to engage positively with learning and benefit from all the experiences the school offers. It is a particular strength of the school. Leaders at the school are reflective and have a broad range of skills and experience. Together, the leadership team are working constructively with staff as the school moves towards its impending restructure. However, the usual arrangements for quality assurance have, in part, been suspended. As a result, leaders do not currently have a complete overview of the quality of teaching and learning across the school and a secure understanding of the progress that groups of pupils make from their individual starting points. The school complies with all of the Independent School Standards (Wales) Regulations 2003.
