Monkton Prep School

Bath, Bath and North East Somerset, South West · BA2 7ET

Set in Bath, Monkton Prep is a small, mixed independent school with a Christian ethos and a roll of around 311 pupils.

The Christian character runs through the life of the school, reflected too in its bursary policy, which gives priority to the children of clergy and missionaries among boarders. Families seeking a faith-rooted preparatory education with the option of boarding will find a clear sense of identity here, led by Mrs Catherine Winchcombe.
