Haberdashers' Monmouth is proud to be recognised as one of the UK’s top 100 cricketing schools in The Cricketer Schools Guide 2025. This honour reflects the school’s dedication to cricket, offering exceptional facilities, expert coaching, and a comprehensive fixture programme.

The school has a rich cricketing history dating back to 1882, with alumni including former England and Glamorgan cricketer Steve James and rising star Sophia Smale, who represents Western Storm and the Oval Invincibles. Current pupils Jacob Blades and Zac Williams are members of the Glamorgan Academy and have represented Wales at the Under-18 level.

Led by Director of Cricket Callum Bassett-Jones, the coaching team also includes Assistant Director James Boiling (former Surrey and Durham player) and School Director of Sport Andrew Jones (ex-Glamorgan professional). Students benefit from one-to-one coaching, specialist group sessions, and over 130 fixtures annually against schools, clubs, and regional sides.

Girls’ cricket continues to thrive, with 14 players selected for Cricket Wales this year. The school remains committed to expanding opportunities for all cricketers while building on its legacy of excellence.
