Introduction
Kings Monkton School is the oldest independent school in Cardiff and is a co-educational establishment for pupils aged 3-18. From 2013, KMS has been the fastest growing independent school in the UK and has moved from an adequate rating under ESTYN to consistently achieving excellent.

We are a mainstream school with SEN status, and as such undergo annual monitoring by ESTYN and take pupils funded by the Local Authority, with IDPs, as well as privately funded and Tier 4 children. In 2019 we underwent a Management Buyout with the Principal and Vice Principal purchasing the school.

Kings Monkton School consistently has 300 pupils on roll and has moved to having a unique blend of online learning and onsite delivery through the pandemic. We are an inclusive school with no entrance examination - our philosophy is that all pupils can learn and succeed as long as differentiation is appropriate. Our pastoral system is second to none and we pride ourselves on excellent working relationships with pupils and parents. It is this collaboration and flexibility that makes us such an outstanding school.

SCHOOL MISSION & AIMS
The school’s vision statement is **“To be the best that you can be.” **This means that we as a school want every child to reach their potential whatever that may be. At Kings Monkton School our mission is to prepare each pupil for life, enabling them to discover themselves and develop their gifts and talents, to fully realise their potential, and to achieve the highest standards of which they are capable. As a school therefore we aim to:

- Offer outstanding teaching, providing an exciting, dynamic and challenging environment that inspires our pupils.
- Set high expectations so that all our pupils maximise their potential.
- Celebrate the successes and achievements of all our pupils.
- Enable all our pupils to become confident, independent learners.
- Provide a balanced and rich curriculum that is accessible to every pupil.
- Encourage each pupil to grow in self-esteem, self-acceptance and confidence.
- Care for, guide and support each pupil in their journey through the school.
- To foster in our pupils a tolerance and respect for others and a deep concern to care for the environment.
- Prepare our pupils to become the citizens of the future, able to make a strong contribution to society in a changing and challenging global world.

A member of staff working in Kings Monkton School is expected to support the following ethos:
The school is a multi-cultural, multi-faith school where pupils from diverse backgrounds and beliefs come together to learn and grow. The ethos of such a school is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where all pupils feel valued, respected, and safe. This means recognizing, valuing and celebrating the diversity of cultures and religions represented in the school community.

At Kings Monkton School we pride ourselves on being an inclusive, caring and happy school. We strive to ensure that all children reach their potential and get the best educational experience available.
OUR ADDITIONAL LEARNING NEEDS (ALN) FACULTY
An opportunity has arisen for an Assistant Additional Learning Needs Coordinator (AALNCo) to join our successful faculty and support its further growth and development.

The ALN Faculty is the biggest in the school, led by Sara Strange (ALNCo) and supported by 22 Learning Support Assistants (LSAs), and intervention Team made up of Stephen Morse, Interventions Manager, Steffan Johnson (Interventions Tutor), Alison King (Literacy Coach and Librarian) as well as four other staff who are members of the Wellbeing and Pastoral Team.

Growth in the success of the Faculty is down to excellent leadership form our ALNCo, Mrs Sara Strange, and our good working relationship with Local Authorities and parents - where we offer something truly unique in Cardiff compared to other school, both mainstream and special.

We have small classes so staff can focus on their teaching, with classes 18 pupils. We have a strong culture of differentiation from Wave 1 - classroom based to Wave 3, which is external support.
