Monken Hadley Church of England primary school is a place where you meet inquisitive, young learners within a unique setting, surrounded by woodland and common. With a rich history and strong community links, we provide a wealth of opportunities for all our children.
Underpinning all that we do is our school vision and commitment to meeting our pupils needs in this safe learning environment. Our children are joyful risk takers, curious learners, intelligent thinkers, polite servants who support and are supported by one another in faith and friendship.
As an inclusive community, we share the responsibility of nurturing our independent learners who, through their experiences here at Monken Hadley, flourish and achieve their full potential. In doing this, we are preparing our children for their future roles within this changing world.
Our aim is for every child to excel in all aspects of school life and to leave here as lifelong learners. "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
