St. Monica's Catholic Primary School is a happy school. We are a Catholic community with our mission firmly based on the teaching of Jesus. We offer a friendly environment and a school ethos where respect and caring is modelled in the way we live together like a family. We have high standards of behaviour, teaching and learning.
It is our vision for every child to be happy, caring and responsible; to develop a lifelong passion for learning, to achieve their potential and to be prepared for the challenges of the 21st Century. Our school vision statement encapsulates our school mission: 'Loving to learn, learning to love like Jesus.'

St. Monica's is a church made up of ordinary people who love God, want to worship Him together, pray for the world and work to make His Kingdom here on Earth. Our Parish Priest is Canon George Browne. He has served our Parish for many years and loves to come into school and speak to the children and families.
This scheme we use is based on the Religious Education Curriculum Directory for Catholic schools. It contains systematic and rigorous teaching and learning, at least equal to that of other curriculum areas. Other faiths are addressed as a consequence of, and in the context of, Catholic teaching. Catholic teaching about the action of God in the world requires an informed and respectful approach to other faith.

Staff absence is at our school is low but we do have a pool of regular supply staff for cover of any absence and Continued Professional Development (CPD) time out of class by our teachers.

A stranger is anyone that your child doesn't know or know very well. It's both common and dangerous for your child to think that 'strangers' look scary or sinister, like villains in films or cartoons. In a recent survey the majority of children aged between 5-8 thought this. Play a game with your child and ask them to draw a stranger, it will help you reinforce that a stranger can look like anyone.
