“A better way to learn”
- Rosemary Whaley - Founder and Principal
Welcome to Llangattock School Monmouth! A unique independent school and nursery set in the beautiful Monmouthshire countryside offering tailor made education for children from 2-19 years.
We are a small and highly inclusive school community which specialises in children who may benefit from an educational setting that is different to mainstream schooling. In addition to our teaching staff, we have a large team of teaching assistants and learning mentors for whom the wellbeing of the children always comes first.
“I am delighted to have created Llangattock School Monmouth, which rose out of a conviction that there is a better way for children to learn. Here, children’s progress can be limitless, as they learn AT THEIR OWN PACE, and are championed for every emerging skill, led by enthusiastic experts in each topic. We enable every child to have a positive experience of childhood and education, growing into the unique adult he or she can be, with a secure and positive self-image. I invite you most warmly to come and see us in action, and you will see how we can provide the education experience you want for your child.”

Welcome
We are a specialist setting for children who require a nurturing environment with small class sizes and high levels of adult support. Many children arrive with negative associations of school due to anxiety, school refusal or adverse childhood experiences. We provide a bespoke, flexible school experience based on a child’s strengths and needs which allows their self-esteem and confidence to rebuild whilst achieving academically.
Wellbeing is at the heart of what we do. All staff work with a trauma informed approach and an awareness of sensory needs. We offer a dyslexia friendly environment which supports social communication needs.
We believe that education should enrich lives and educators should speak to the emerging adult within.
