School History & Details

Haberdashers' Monmouth School for Girls is an independent school in Monmouth, Wales. The Worshipful Company of Haberdashers created the school in 1892 and continues to fund it. It is part of the Haberdashers' Monmouth Schools network. The school collaborates with its sibling school, Monmouth School for Boys, on activities including drama and sixth-form courses. They also share a coeducational preschool called Agincourt School. The girls' school is divided into two sections: Inglefield House (ages 7-11) and Senior School. HMSG was established in 1892 by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. It opened in temporary quarters at Hardwick House while the company looked for a permanent location. In 1897, it relocated to its current location. The main block was created by Henry Stock, the Haberdashers' in-house architect. In 1946, the girls' school and its sibling, Monmouth School, were direct-grant grammar schools under the Education Act 1944. They later became autonomous when the scheme was phased down. Agincourt Preparatory School was established in 1997.
