Headteacher's Welcome
I am very proud to welcome you to Monksmoor Park CE Primary School.
We are a growing school, having opened our doors for the first time in September 2018 to 11 Reception children and now work with 200 children across Nursery to Year 5. Academic achievement is important and we have high expectations for our children, however, we also know that children are only ready to learn when they feel safe and loved.
Curriculum
Our curriculum will provide each and every child the opportunity to flourish. Children will feel safe and happy at school and will be in the best possible position to learn and grow. They will acquire wisdom, knowledge and skills and be able to use them to explore the world around them and develop a sense of curiosity. We understand how outdoor learning helps us to be healthy, both physically and mentally and enjoy a spiritual connection with nature. Children at Monksmoor Park will embody our school values and leave school ready to embrace the challenges ahead of them.Clubs and Activities

Forest School
Forest School allows children to develop physically, socially and emotionally by supporting play, exploration and risk taking.
At Monksmoor Park we believe it is a valuable opportunity for our children as it develops their confidence, self-esteem, perseverance, creativity and imagination. They learn about our natural world while having fun, exploring and working together.
Our Values
As a Church of England school, Christian values are at the heart of all we do. Through consultation with parents, staff and governors, we have developed our own school values which are embedded throughout our curriculum.

We know that God wants us to flourish as human beings in body, mind and spirit and to be the best that we can be. In response, we value and nurture all that leads to the creation of a sense of wellbeing in our lives as individuals and a community.
I have come in order that you might have life—life in all its fullness

Joy
