About St Monica Primary School

Parents considering St Monica Primary School will find strong signals of satisfaction from those already in the school community. In the most recent Parent View survey, covering September 2024 to September 2025, 93% of the 69 respondents said they would recommend the school to other parents. That’s a very high endorsement. The school is also clearly popular at the admissions stage: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 80 applications for just 40 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2:1. Of those 80 applicants, 39 put St Monica as their first preference, and 39 first-preference offers were made. So while the school is oversubscribed, families who really want a place here have a decent chance if they prioritise it. On the wellbeing side, 99% of parents agreed or strongly agreed that their child is happy at the school, and the same proportion felt their child is safe. Behaviour also scores well, with 92% agreeing the school ensures pupils are well behaved.
