The one-form entry St. Michael's Catholic Primary School offers pre-school services, breakfast programmes, and after-school activities.
I feel incredibly privileged and immensely delighted to be the headteacher of St. Michael's.
Our entire staff is committed and dedicated to giving each and every one of our students the greatest education possible.
I firmly believe that the greatest approach to give all of our kids the high-quality education they deserve is to work together with both their homes and their schools.
We take pride in offering special educational opportunities that many of the students have never had before, including residential experiences for all KS2 students.
We strive to walk in Jesus' footsteps as a Catholic school, and as stated in our mission statement, we "create an inclusive environment where everyone is encouraged to attain their best potential."
By treating one another as you would like to be treated, we ask for everyone's help in educating our children about their Catholic religion at home and in school.
St. Michael's Catholic Primary School is a joyful, active place where children feel safe, are given challenges, and are inspired to develop into resilient lifelong learners and significant contributors to our community.
