Values and vision
St Monica’s RC High School is a Catholic community that aims to work in partnership with families, schools and parishes to teach the Catholic faith as a way of life. The school provides a caring, supportive environment where everyone is of equal worth. Jesus Christ is central to the school and its main goal is to allow everyone to develop their God-given talents and gifts to the full, while growing in faith through prayer and service.
The school learns from tradition and history but also keeps pace with education, challenge and change. It has seen many changes over the years but its aims remain the same – to enable young people to develop their future roles in life. As a community, it encourages all its members to exercise discipline, respect, tolerance and understanding in the search for knowledge and happiness. The ethos of the school is based on the values taught in the Gospels and applied to our world today.
Ofsted report
"Across the school, leaders and staff have high expectations of what pupils can and should achieve. The headteacher drives this culture of high expectations. He is unrelenting in his vision to improve the school so that all pupils get the highest quality education.
The behaviour of pupils around the school and in lessons has noticeably improved. Lessons are typically free from disruption. Behaviour during social times and when moving between lessons is calm and purposeful.
Pupils, parents and staff say that the school has improved significantly since the appointment of the new headteacher at the start of the year. The evidence gathered by inspectors supports their views.
Pupils have many opportunities to develop as well-rounded young people, grounded in the Catholic values of the school.”
