Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools promotes health, safety and wellbeing
THE buzz of pupil activity has returned to the classrooms and corridors at Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools.
After delivering a very successful online learning progamme during the summer term, the schools have welcomed all children back for the start of the new academic year.
“While we remained open for the children of key workers last term, we are excited to have reopened all five of our school sites for all pupils,” said principal James Murphy-O’Connor.
“During the summer, we worked through detailed plans on how we could reopen our school sites and we will constantly review and monitor how successfully our measures are being implemented.
“Our overriding priority is to promote and protect the health, safety and wellbeing of our children and staff, while providing the greatest possible breadth of education.”
Students celebrated their examination results during the summer after an extraordinary chapter in their young lives.
Monmouth Schools sixth form students showed maturity and resilience throughout the coronavirus pandemic which disrupted their studies.
This was the first A-level cohort to have been fully integrated in
Monmouth Schools sixth form since co-educational teaching was launched in September 2018.
There were outstanding individual performances: 50% of all grades were A* to A and 75% were A* to B and three students secured places at Oxbridge.
At Monmouth School for Girls, 81.6% of all GCSE grades were A* to A and grade nine to seven and 100% were A* to C and grade nine to four. Eleven girls achieved nine or more A*/grades nine and eight.
80.63% of all GCSE grades at Monmouth School for Boys were A* to A and grade nine to seven and 99.7% were A* to C and grade nine to four. Sixteen boys recorded all grades at A*/grades nine and eight and six achieved a full set of A*/nine grade.
