Rougemont is an HMC co-educational school for pupils from three to 18.
Located in 80 acres of grounds, Rougemont offers a strong academic and social grounding with first class teaching, small class sizes and a host of extra curricular activities.
Rainbows Nursery, the Infants' and Junior Schools are all self-contained units. Rainbows Nursery and Infants are housed in a new, state-of-the-art building, while the Junior School's home, the beautiful Llantarnam Hall, preserves the feel of a traditional prep school. The modern Burge Building is home to the Senior School.
Rougemont Junior School has recently made the headlines with the introduction of its own newspaper, The Junior Journal.
Rougemont Junior School provides a great foundation for the move to Senior School, with a state-of-the art design technology workshop, a first-class IT suite and specialist subject teaching from Year 5. Junior School places are now at a premium as entry to the Senior School is becoming more competitive.
The school has excellent A-Level and GCSE results and pupils continued their pattern of success in 2006-2007. A-Level results were good, with 70 per cent of entries resulting in A or B grades. GCSE results were outstanding; nearly a third of entries produced A* grades.
Rougemont is less selective than many traditional independent schools but still ranks high in the league tables, outperforming many schools with a more academically selective intake.
The school's 2006 Estyn report was described as glowing' by the Times Educational Supplement.
The report pays tribute to the high standards achieved by pupils, the quality of teaching and the value for money offered by the school.
"Ensuring our pupils achieve academically is always our priority but it is also important to ensure they have access to a wide range of other activities to stimulate them and help them to develop in other ways," said the Headmaster.
