Ss. John and Monica's is a Catholic Voluntary Aided School within the Archdiocese of Birmingham and in the local authority area of the City of Birmingham.
History of the School
Our school was built in 1969 and opened for its first pupils in September 1970. It was originally built as a Junior school called St Monica’s. The Infants or KS1 children were taught in a school next to our parish church, St John and Martin’s. The Infant School was called St John’s. 1980, the two schools amalgamated into SS John and Monica’s.
SS. John and Monica Catholic Primary School opened in September 1980, following the amalgamation of the St. John's Infant and St. Monica's Junior Schools. The school serves the Parish of SS. John and Martin draw its children from the Balsall Heath/Moseley/Edgbaston area.
As a Catholic School, our unwavering commitment to the Christian growth of the child is not confined to religious education lessons but permeates the entire curriculum. This ensures that every aspect of a child's development is nurtured in a faith-based environment.
SS. John and Monica Catholic Primary School is more than just an educational institution. We aspire for our pupils to contribute positively to their communities, both now and in the future. We recognise the need for children to be equipped with the necessary intellectual and life skills to succeed in their next stage of education and beyond, and we instill in them a sense of responsibility towards their communities.
