Aims

We believe that the primary years at school are a vital part of the whole development of each child. In support of that belief we strive to: 

• Achieve the highest standards in learning and behaviour 
• Encourage a sense of self-worth as well as respect and tolerance for others  
• Encourage children to develop positive attitudes to life and to learning
• Provide an exciting curriculum that is motivating, creative and fun
• Actively promote British Values - tolerance, rule of law, justice, respect and liberty
• Ensure that all children flourish and achieve their full potential
• Engage the support of parents and community in the process of learning.
•  Encourage all children to develop personal, spiritual and cultural values
• Our ultimate aim is to give all our children the confidence and enthusiasm to become lifelong learners in a changing world     

Positive Behaviours

At St Monica Primary School, we like to keep our expectations for behaviour clear and simple so that they can be easily understood by our whole school community.

In our school, we ask that everyone is 'Respectful, Safe and Ready.'
