Established by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers in 1892, in June 2022 the Haberdashers began a consultation on proposals to merge the school with Monmouth School for Boys, making them fully coeducational. In October 2024 the amalgamated schools were relaunched as Haberdashers' Monmouth School. The Good Schools Guide described the school as a "friendly school that produces feisty young women" and noted its "diverse extra-curricular education".
History
History
HMSG was founded in 1892 by the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers. It opened in temporary premises at Hardwick House while the Company negotiated for a permanent location. In 1897 it moved to its present location. The main block was designed by the Haberdashers' in-house architect, Henry Stock. Both the girls' school and its brother school Monmouth School became direct grant grammar schools in 1946 under the Education Act 1944 and became independent when the scheme was phased out. The prep school, Agincourt, was added in 1997. In June 2022, the Haberdashers began a consultation on proposals to merge the Boys and Girls schools, making them fully coeducational. In October 2024 the amalgamated schools were relaunched as Haberdashers' Monmouth School.
