At Monkspath, our vision is clear: Learning and growing together to be the best that we can be. We are a large, vibrant school with over 700 pupils aged 2–11, and a highly experienced, well-established staff team. We believe that exceptional relationships – with our children, our staff, our families, and the wider community – are the bedrock of all we do. These strong, positive connections underpin our inclusive ethos, high expectations, and unwavering commitment to the wellbeing and achievement of every pupil. Our children are enthusiastic, polite, and eager to learn, and our staff team is collaborative, caring, and dedicated to making a difference.
Our school values underpin all that we do in school. Our values are the foundation for how we work together, how we support children’s development and progress in all areas of the curriculum, and how we nurture relationships and personal development.
We aspire great things for our children and promote excellence, not only in core subjects but also through a wide range of rich experiences which enhance learning in the National Curriculum and beyond. We make learning fun, stimulating, challenging and hugely rewarding.
Our school is a caring and diverse community where we foster inner confidence and a strong sense of self-worth. Frequent praise from our families and receiving secondary schools tells us how well equipped our children are, both academically and socially, to make the very best of the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead. We are extremely impressed by our children as they go through school and move on in life, and we follow their progress with great interest.
We expect kind, responsible behaviour of all our children and this, coupled with academic rigour, makes for a happy, thriving, successful and vibrant school.
