As the Headteacher of St Monica’s RC High School I warmly welcome you to the St Monica’s website which I hope you will find very useful and full of important information. It is both an honour and a privilege to serve our young people and I am very proud of our whole school community.

We are a Catholic family, diverse and different, supporting each other in all we do through prayer and service. Our mission statement encapsulates the values of our school as a lived experience every day.  Our most recent inspections have confirmed that we are a Good school in all areas and some of the highlights from the inspectorates are:

‘Pupils enjoy coming to school’ (Ofsted, Jan 2025)

‘Pupil’s experience of school has been transformed since the last inspection’ (Ofsted, Jan 2025)

‘The school’s curriculum is highly ambitious for all pupils. There are high expectations for what pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve’ (Ofsted, Jan 2025)

‘Pupils achieve well, including in national examinations’ (Ofsted, Jan 2025)

‘The school has high expectations for pupils’ behaviour that are consistently taught, reinforced, and embedded in school routines.’ (Ofsted, Jan 2025)

‘Pupils say that this is a school where everyone’s differences are accepted and everyone is equal.’ (Ofsted, Jan 2025)

‘Staff are proud to work at the school’ (Ofsted, Jan 2025)

‘St Monica’s is ‘a welcoming school community’ where there is “a real sense of value placed on each person as based in the image of God.” (CSI Inspection, Feb 2024)

Our prime focus is to prepare our pupils so that they are ready to take their place in the world. Our strong pupil outcomes ensure that pupils leave St Monica’s ready and equipped to move onto their chosen pathway.  Our curriculum goes beyond the individual subjects with many enrichment and personal development opportunities available.  Pupil progress is ‘above average’ and pupil attainment is very strong meaning that we maximise the possibility of pupils going on to study whatever course they wish.
