- to encourage in the child a sense of social responsibility both in moral and aesthetic aspects, with adults and peers. This will involve being considerate, polite and helpful toward others, showing courtesy and good manners, and learning to be tolerant of others’ needs. Monkton holds a total non violence policy, encouraging children to be patient with their friends.
- to develop the child’s academic potential through both progressive and traditional teaching disciplines. We believe that, if a child shows consistent interest in reading or writing, that this interest should be encouraged, and the abilities of the child extended. Each child is treated as an individual in this respect. Our children know that our ethos is 'Kind hands, kind feet, kind words.'
- to nurture the child’s capacity for love and affection through the care and sensitivity of the staff in a secure, happy and relaxed atmosphere.
