Our Mission Statement

Together we learn

Together we grow

Together we Excel

Through Christ our Lord,

Amen

EMBRACE reflects our commitment to nurturing children who are confident, compassionate, respectful and ready to make a positive difference in the world.

Rooted in our Catholic faith and inspired by the teachings of Jesus, EMBRACE guides the way we learn, pray, care for one another and live together as a school community. These values are woven through our curriculum, relationships, behaviour and daily life, helping every child to understand that they are uniquely created and loved by God.

We are committed to serving our community and all our stakeholders. Jesus is at the heart of our learning, values and beliefs, and our central aim is to build up our pupils into effective citizens of the world, with deep Catholic ethos and the love of Jesus Christ. We live our faith every day, openly demonstrating the qualities of Jesus to each other, loving one another and fostering forgiveness.

We value and celebrate each other's gifts and talents, nurturing them to instil a deep sense of pride in each other - after all, we are all 'fearfully and wonderfully made' by God the Father.

We seek to create a stimulating environment and a happy, caring community where each person grows in knowledge and love.

Fr. Gabriel is our School Chaplain and the Parish Priest of our Church - Saint Monica's Catholic Church. We cherish the very close relationship between our school, our school chaplain and our local school community.

We proudly demonstrate the rich traditions of Catholicity as we evidence it through our works, displays and assemblies.

While majority of our children are Catholics, we welcome children from all faiths and our children come from all walks of life.

All through the year, the Church family celebrates the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. We also celebrate:

•  The Feast of St Monicas
• Crowning of Our Lady
• Advent
• Easter Liturgy
• Harvest Festival
• Christmas Nativity

 

St Monica’s pupils, parents, and staff enjoy a school journey through the Church’s year. Our entrance, hall, corridor, and classroom displays reflect the time of year in the Church’s calendar.
