Every Child Matters at St Monica's

The Every Child Matters initiative has five main areas:

Be Healthy
Stay Safe
Enjoy and Achieve
Make a Positive Contribution
Achieve Economic Well-being

All of these areas are an important part of everyday life. We are offering a healthy and safe environment, encouraging the pupils to enjoy their education and achieve their full potential academically.

Students are encouraged to make a positive contribution towards school life, the wider community and their own education.

Advice and guidance helps students to understand and work towards economic well-being.
