“Kings Monkton provides students with a multicultural learning environment and a variety of outdoor activities. George is very interested in the school’s curriculum and looks forward to attending. Moreover, I particularly appreciate the teachers in Kings Monkton, who are full of love and patience for the children and respect for their communication with them. - Mrs. W. Zhang
“The school offers a safe and solid ground for learning and exploration for my child. The family environment allows for my child’s mind to grow positively and to create childhood memories. Learning is both important and fun at the same time. A fantastic place to be. Home away from home.” - Ms. N. Nair
“Kings Monkton is an inclusive school where children are encouraged to work to their full potential but in an unpressurised way. Because it’s a small school, it has a family feel and children and teachers really get to know each other. I like the diversity of the school, the cultural offer and off course the high standard of education. My son is thriving at the school.” - Dr. S. Diskin
“What truly sets Kings Monkton apart is the hard work and passion exhibited by the entire staff. The tireless efforts they put into their teaching, the genuine care they show towards each student, and their willingness to adapt and innovate in the face of challenges. It is clear that they are not just educators but mentors and role models who inspire their students to excel." - Mrs. P. Roberts
“I moved my daughter to Kings Monkton when she was in year 3 and I haven’t looked back. There is intervention when needed and the small class sizes make a huge difference, enabling teachers to spend more time with children. The school provides a bus service from the home to the school and this has saved me over 2 hours a day in travel. I’m very happy with Kings Monkton School.” - Ms. V. Holloway
"My child started Kings Monkton School in year 8, and his education has been a game-changer! The school instils in children the confidence and belief to thrive through its warm, inclusive and adaptable teaching approach. The pastoral care is exceptional; Respect is ingrained in every part of the school's values, making it a safe and happy environment where my child has built good friendship groups and admiration for the teaching staff. I also particularly love how much extra-curricular opportunities are put into the school's creative arts output." - Mrs J. David
"Our son struggled with anxiety when transitioning to comprehensive school which became progressively worse over time. We made the decision to move him to Kings Monkton School towards the end of Year 7. All the teachers and pupils welcomed him into the school with such kindness. He thrived in the small class sizes, nurturing calm environment and positive encouragement from all the staff. His well-being is at the heart of the school ethos. We knew we had made the right decision when after a few days at the school he said to us “Thank you for moving me, this is the school for me" - Mrs J. Newton
"When we were accepted into Kings Monkton three years ago, one could not imagine how kind and patient all staff members are. Each child is truly valued and cared for. We are fortunate to have a Wellbeing Team, and they are always on hand to help at any given time. We have received a nurturing experience for both our children and each child’s needs are met to standard that we had not experienced previously, both academically and emotionally. The school is inclusive and culturally diverse, which enables the pupils to become more tolerant and understanding of others. There is a great community atmosphere due to this. The reason that all the aforementioned is able to happen is due to the school’s foundation: Mr & Mrs Norton! We are grateful that our children can attend such a school." - Mrs M. Suarez-Al-Nashy
"As parents, choosing the right school for our son Harrison was one of the most important decisions we’ve made—and Kings Monkton has truly exceeded our expectations. From the very beginning, during his transition days, we were impressed by how welcoming and supportive the entire school community was. Harrison had concerns about how his egg allergy would be managed, but these worries were quickly put to rest. The staff and pupils took the time to understand his needs, which reassured us greatly as parents." - Mrs J. Thomas
