An early start to Tuesday morning could only mean one thing for our Y6 pupils: it was finally time to head to a residential after many years of waiting!

We have now introduced BCS reading charts within each of the classrooms in…

The Prep Lent term ended with style and panache as the four Houses battled it out in the House Shout. Each House had been practising hard to ensure a polished performance – complete with actions, props and a few altered lyrics of course – of their chosen song, on a ‘numbers’ theme. St Monica’s were…
As part of Blue Coat’s Community Outreach project, the Board Games and Gardening TED groups went into the local community and planted some lovely daffodils and bluebells along a small stretch of land on the Harborne Walkway.
