Gladstone Primary School

We are a small school, set in the vibrant area of Cathays in Cardiff and provide a welcoming, caring and secure environment in which Christian values are central to the ethos of the school and its community. In our school, every child has the chance to shine.

All of our children are offered a varied curriculum which will prepare them for life in the 21st Century! The younger children follow the Foundation Phase, while the older children follow the National Curriculum for Wales, which was revised in 2008.

The vast majority of parents choose to send their children to St. Monica’s because it is a Church in Wales school and they want the special kind of education a church school will provide. We ask every child to bring their faith with them as they come into school – not to leave it at the door. We are a very multicultural school in the heart of Cathays and welcome children of all faiths as well as those who may have no faith expressed at home.

We ask that everyone who comes to St Monica’s, whether they be a pupil, member of staff or visitor comes with an open heart, ready to join in, in friendship and fellowship.

The Vision for our School, at St. Monica’s we believe that God loves us and we are made in God’s image. We work together to provide a safe and happy school where the Christian values of love, respect and forgiveness surround us and every child has the chance to shine. Everyone will have the confidence to make choices in line with God’s purpose, achieve beyond their expectations and share the riches of God’s creation.
