St Monica’s Church in Wales Primary School - Contextual Information

St Monica’s CW Primary School is a small inner city, Church in Wales school which caters for children from the ages of four to eleven years. The school is in a beautiful Grade 2 listed Victorian building in the center of Cathays, Cardiff. The school relocated to our current site in 2005 and underwent an extensive building refurbishment programme. From the PLASC January 2018 census there were 123 pupils on roll arranged in mixed age classes and 17 teaching and support staff. 55 boys and 74 girls. 26% were eligible for free school meals and 33.3% of all pupils were on the SEN register at School Action or above. 1 pupil had a statement of Special Educational Need.

The school population has been very fluid in recent years, due in part to the number of student families in the area as well as Czech/Slovak/Romanian Roma and asylum seeker families who do not always remain in the locality.

Between September 2017 and beginning of July 2018 35 pupils left and 54 pupils joined mid-year, not including Year 6 and Reception aged pupils. 19 pupils arrived and left within the same academic year (16 of whom were on the ALN register at School Action or above). Last year’s School Improvement Plan was written with the 2017/18 cohort pupils in mind – 12 of the 35 leavers were on the ALN register at SA or above, of the 54 new pupils, 34 have significant ALN at SA or above and have received additional support in school.

Pupils were from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds: Arab, Asian, Bangladeshi, Chinese, Czech, Egyptian, German, Greek/Greek Cypriot, Gypsy Roma, Indian, Iraqi, Kurdish, Malaysian, Nepali, Nigerian, Pakistani, Polish, Romanian, Slovakian, Somali, Spanish, Sudanese, White and Black African, White British and Mixed British. The largest groups were White British 31.7%, Czech, Slovak and Roma 16.2%, Pakistani 10.6% and Iraqi and Arab pupils 8.1%. The percentage of White British pupils has fluctuated in recent years. This year there has been a significant increase in the number of Czech Roma pupils. PLASC January 2018

55.5% of pupils were Christian, 29.9% Muslim, 5% have no faith and 9.6% from other faiths. 4.6% of pupils were asylum seekers, this is an increase from last year. There are no looked after pupils currently on roll.

25 different languages were spoken in school. The highest percentage of first languages spoken are English 35.8% (28.9% last year), Arabic 12.2% (18.5% last year) and Czech/Slovak/Roma 16.2% (19.3% last year) . Other languages include Bengali, Cantonese, Dutch, Greek, Hindi, Hindko, Igala, Igbo, Kurdish, Nepali, Panjabi, Pashto, Persian/Farsi, Polish, Portuguese, Romani, Sinhala, Spanish, Tamil, Urdu and Yoruba. Of the 123 pupils on roll, 65.9% of pupils (68.1% last year) are developing their language acquisition skills, New to English = 8.9% (17% last year), Early Acquisition = 18.7% (26.7% last year) and Developing Competence = 30.9% (18.5% last year). PLASC January 2018

Cohorts of children are frequently very small and this has a significant impact on percentages in end of key stage assessments.
