There are several very good schools within easy reach of Abergavenny.  The girls and boys boarding Haberdashers schools in Monmouth have fantastic reputations and achieve high Oxford and Cambridge entries.  Our daughter and granddaughter both went to the girls school and our granddaughter is now reading english in Oxford. Charles was head of department in the boys school for a number of years. Monmouth schools run a private bus service to and from Abergavenny every school day.  The bus in fact passes the end of our drive which could not be easier. I am sure that Christ College Brecon operate a bus service as well.
