History

Kings Monkton School was formed in 1994 from the amalgamation of two of Cardiff’s oldest schools – Kings College and Monkton House – both of which were established in the 1870s. The influence of Kings and Monkton upon local education over the last century and a quarter has been immeasurable, since generations of local children have passed successfully through the two schools. Former pupils have made their mark in all walks of life in South Wales and in the wider world.

The two schools are now a single entity and the process of merger was completed in 1997 when the school moved to its present location opposite Cardiff’s Mansion House and close to all the amenities of the capital city of Wales.

Becoming part of CfBT Education Trust in 2008 has opened up immense opportunities for the further development of our school, our staff and our pupils and we face the future with optimism and confidence.
