We appreciate and value difference, and our ambition is to attract, develop and retain a diverse mix of talented people that will contribute to our ethos and values.

Support staff at Monkton carry out a range of vital and valued positions. The School’s ability to function and perform outstandingly well depends on the work our non-teaching staff do.

We continue to enjoy a distinctive Christian ethos which provides a solid foundation from which we can all, students and staff, make our own responses to matters of life and faith.

Monkton thinks differently and we encourage our people to be innovative and think creatively. We have recently launched an innovation fund where our people are able to reflect on possible areas of experimentation and apply for funding to follow their idea through. Some ideas we are championing are:

  • Developing a unique EYFS curriculum that is highly creative, uses rich and real resources/ experiences strong in STEM content.
  • Increasing the use of our outdoor spaces by offering new water-based activities like paddleboarding.
