This year has seen record numbers of donors and volunteers to Monkton. With your support, we have been able to give life-changing opportunities through our bursaries, give opportunities to current pupils via our careers programme, and make significant improvements to our estate. Our focus this year has very much been about the difference your collective support can make and you have answered our call - thank you so much!

Bursaries

Over 10% of pupils receive some financial support. Thanks to you, we’ve been able to increase the number of transformational bursaries to 13. Working with Springboard and various other organisations, as well as our donors, we now fund 5 Springboard pupils, 3 pupils on the Christian Leadership Bursary and we have 4 children from war-torn countries, all thriving at Monkton thanks to your generosity.

1907 Café

This project was community at its best - the pupils designed it, our community donated to make it happen and now it gives us a space to meet and have time together. Your generosity transformed the old School shop to a thriving hub of social activity at the heart of the School. Pupils are using it for project work and social activities, staff are using it for tutorials and meetings and our parents and OMs can come and visit too.

The impact of your generosity

Chapel Quad

Donations have helped to change this space from a car park to a formal quad, with green lawns and outdoor spaces right outside the library and chapel. Completing Autumn 2022.

Big nature project

Over the next three years, Sham Field will be transformed from a golf course to an incredible space for children to use - from outdoor classrooms to wild meadows and much more.
