Aims and Philosophy
At Kings Monkton, we have many aims, all of which centre upon developing the unique talents that every child possesses. Above all we aim to teach well, to provide a rich learning environment in which the academic potential of each child can be fully realised.
But academic success is nothing unless a child develops those essential skills that we all need to lead a fulfilling life. So at Kings Monkton we strive to prepare children for life by encouraging their growth towards self-awareness, independence and self-confidence.
We also pride ourselves on the quality of our pastoral care. Whether one is teaching a three-year-old the importance of sharing or guiding a teenager through the difficult years of adolescence, all pupils need care, support and security in order to develop.
Parents are important to us, too. We aim to be an open, accessible school and parents are encouraged to participate in their child's education and get involved in the life of the school.
