Welcome to St. Monica's Catholic Primary School

St. Monica's Catholic Primary School is a happy school, located in Appleton, Warrington. We are a Catholic community with our mission firmly based on the teaching of Jesus. Children of all faiths and backgrounds are welcome at St Monica’s. We offer a friendly environment and a school ethos where respect and caring is modelled in the way we live together like a family.

We have high standards of behaviour, teaching and learning. It is our vision for every child to be happy, caring and responsible; to develop a lifelong passion for learning, to achieve their potential and to be prepared for the challenges of the 21st Century.

Our school vision statement encapsulates our school mission:

'Loving to learn, learning to love like Jesus.'
