A £32,000-a-year public school is set to make history by going mixed-sex for the first time in 408 years.
The Haberdashers’ Monmouth School for Boys and neighbouring Monmouth School for Girls aim to end single-sex education.
It means pupils aged three to 18 will be taught together as part of 'huge steps toward sustainability.'
Chair of Governors Lord Moynihan - an old boy of the school who was Minister for Sport under PM Margaret Thatcher - described it as a 'very significant change'.
He said: 'We believe that moving to a fully co-educational school will allow us to provide top quality education to our pupils from three to 18 - for generations to come.'
