Never let the joy be defeated! The #MonktonValley was so beautiful today that it felt worth revisiting the #JerusalemaChallenge in the snow... The whole community got involved with hot chocolate, squirty cream and mince pies to keep everyone cheery. Highly recommended #MonktonJoy

A super visit to @MonktonBath today. Great to meet with @MonktonHead to learn more about the values that drive the community; see them in action; and talk to students about how they embrace failure, question things and think differently. Good to chat @psbacc with @MonktonPrep too

At the back of the auditorium, the magic of sound is all controlled by one of our ace tech students. Have a quick look at how complicated the whole audio set-up is! We can't wait, our Saturday night Chicago is almost here! @MonktonDrama @MonktonBath #MonktonExpressiveArts

Wonderful to have @boden_jon run a workshop and share his thoughts about getting it right and getting it wrong with our music scholars, topped off by a folk version of this @britneyspears classic; enjoy!

What an incredible day!

[Chris Wheeler @Wheeler_thinks]

Amazing learning about birds of prey with Year 9 today as part of Wild Monkton’s #MonktonFieldDayM22; learning about the natural world is at the heart of conservation; conservation is at the heart of everything we do.
