It has been a vibrant and enjoyable start to the new term at Haberdashers’ Monmouth Schools.

And at Monmouth School Girls’ Prep, a replica of Big Ben, sports games, a word ladder and costumes marked the launch of the new, A Time of Change, learning topic.

“We thought that this was a very apt theme for the term, with new Heads at both the Girls’ Prep and Monmouth School for Girls,” said new Headmistress at Monmouth School Girls’ Prep, Mrs Jennie Phillips.

“The topic launch was designed to allay any first day nerves, inspire the girls for the learning to come, and bring the school community together.

“Thanks to the staff team, for devising such creative and enjoyable activities for the girls and parents to enjoy.”
