On behalf of all the staff and children, We would like to extend to you a warm welcome to the thriving school community of St. Monica's. I intend that this prospectus will provide you with a glimpse into the daily life and activities of St. Monica's. It cannot cover every aspect of school life, so We hope that you will contact me with any further questions which you may have. We would be delighted of course, if you could visit us during the school day to see us "at work". Both children and staff always welcome visitors.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to make an appointment for such a visit so that We can ensure We are available to be with you. As a Church in Wales school, we place great emphasis on respect for the individual. Every child is special and unique and as stated in our Vision – Every Child has the Chance to Shine! Our aim is that every pupil achieves their best. Every member of staff whether a teacher or not is part of the team. Every parent is encouraged to work with us in partnership. On entering St. Monica's you will quickly appreciate that this is our approach to education.
This is what our children say: “This is a very safe and happy school, where we are all very respectful and every child has the chance to shine.” “It is very nice that there are loads of people from different countries who can all meet in one place.” The vast majority of parents choose to send their children to St. Monica’s because it is a Church in Wales school and they want the special kind of education a church school will provide. We ask every child to bring their faith with them as they come into school – not to leave it at the door.
We are a very multicultural school in the heart of Cathays and welcome children of all faiths as well as those who may have no faith expressed at home. We ask that everyone who comes to St Monica’s, whether they be a pupil, member of staff, or visitor comes with an open heart, ready to join in, in friendship and fellowship. The Vision for our School At St. Monica’s we believe that God loves us and we are made in God’s image. We work together to provide a safe and happy school where the Christian values of love, respect, and forgiveness surround us and every child has the chance to shine. Everyone will have the confidence to make choices in line with God’s purpose, achieve beyond their expectations and share the riches of God’s creation.
