School Life
Our Curriculum
We provide a broad and balanced curriculum. Our learning is connected through exciting themes which develop children’s ability to make horizontal links across the year and vertical links between year groups.
Vocabulary linked to subject specific areas of the curriculum, as well as vocabulary for learning, is explicitly taught so children are able to talk confidently about what they have learnt.
Extracurricular and Wraparound Care
Extracurricular Activities
Each term, we offer a diverse range of extracurricular activities to enrich our children’s learning and development. From sports clubs and creative arts to performance opportunities and language enrichment, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Breakfast Club
Breakfast Club runs from 7.45am each morning. Children are offered a healthy breakfast followed by the opportunity to take part in games and other activities until the school day begins.
After School Club
After School Club runs from the end of the school day until 6pm. The children have a snack and a drink followed by a range of different activities, including arts and crafts, sports or just the chance to play with their friends.
Wellbeing
Children’s wellbeing is at the heart of everything we do. We believe that happy, confident, and resilient children are best placed to thrive in their learning and personal development. Through our curriculum, we provide opportunities for children to understand and manage their emotions, using approaches such as the Zones of Regulation and PSHE. This ensures a shared language for discussing feelings and equips children with strategies to navigate challenges with confidence. By embedding wellbeing into all aspects of school life, we create a supportive environment where every child can flourish both academically and emotionally.
SEND
At Monkfrith, we are fully committed to supporting every child to achieve their full potential, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). We believe in inclusion, respect, and celebrating diversity. Our approach ensures that all pupils, whatever their need, are valued members of our school community.
