History
[ edit ]
Kings Monkton School was formed from the amalgamation of two schools, King's College and Monkton House in 1994.[5] Monkton House was founded in 1870 by Henry Shewbrooks[6] and King's College was founded later in the same decade.[7]
In 2009 the school was taken over by the CfBT Education Trust which invested £750,000 into the school.[8] The trust intended to end its financial support in 2013 leaving the school with financial issues.[9] The existing principal resigned his position citing his reason as "job security".[10] In 2013 it was bought by Heathfield Independent Schools,[11] owned by Welsh businessman Andrew McCarthy.[12] Over the six year period the school was owned by Heathfield they invested nearly £2.5m into modernising and improving the school's environment and facilities.[13] [14] In 2019, Andrew McCarthy sold the business to Paul Norton, principal since 2013, and Karen Norton, assistant principal since 2015.[15] The school was incorporated as a private limited company by the two owners.[16]
In 2014 the school opened a sixth-form college offering a range of qualifications including A-levels , BTECs and Welsh Baccalaureate .[17]
Kings Monkton School celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2022.
