The merger of the boys’ and girls’ schools in Monmouth will go ahead.

Following a meeting yesterday during which a number of options were considered, the Board of Governors of the Haberdashers' Monmouth Schools can confirm that from September 2024 the girls' and boys' schools will merge to become fully co-educational. Simon Dorman has been appointed Head of the co-educational senior school from September 2024.

Chair of Governors, Lord Moynihan said: "As a four-hundred year old institution we have always reacted and evolved to reflect the new circumstances of the communities we serve.

"Today is the beginning of another chapter in that history. The merger of the boys' and girls' schools provides a unique opportunity to shape a truly exceptional education, revitalising the school while broadening and strengthening our academic programmes.

"A significant capital investment from the Haberdashers will fund a number of building and refurbishment projects plus improvements to the sports facilities, providing more opportunities at all levels for boys and girls.

"These are exciting times for Haberdashers' Monmouth Schools and I look forward to watching their future unfold."
