A Curriculum for Excellence provides schools with a unified set of purposes and principles for the whole curriculum, throughout the early years, primary school, and secondary school. It is based on skills and outcomes. such as skills for learning, skills for work, and skills for life. The program aims to improve the quality of learning, attainment, and achievement of children and young people in Scotland. It is also about ensuring that pupils achieve on a broad front rather than simply in terms of examinations and develop a range of skills and abilities relevant to growing, living, and working in the modern world. Through A Curriculum for Excellence, pupils will enjoy greater choice and opportunity to help them realize individual talents. We aim to assist our pupils to integrate their learning. For example, reading is a component of language, but the ability to read is vital to other areas of learning, in school and everyday life. View full school

We are a small school, set in the vibrant area of Cathays in Cardiff and provide a welcoming, caring, and secure environment in which Christian values are central to the ethos of the school and its community. In our school, every child has the chance to shine. The purpose of the following two pages is to share information about our church school status. It is very special to us. 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. View full school
