Schools in Monmouthshire

Monmouthshire is a largely rural county in south-east Wales bordering the English counties of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire. The area has 28 state schools spread across market towns including Abergavenny, Caldicot, Chepstow, and Monmouth itself. Admissions are co-ordinated by Monmouthshire County Council in accordance with Welsh Government guidance, and most community schools use catchment zones aligned to local community boundaries.

Welsh-medium education is available through designated Welsh-medium schools and bilingual provision within Monmouthshire. Families considering secondary schools should note that Monmouthshire's secondary schools are grouped into feeder clusters; home addresses within each cluster are normally linked to a specific secondary school. Cross-border movement into English schools is possible but requires families to apply through the relevant English local authority.
