Welcome to St. Michael's Church of England Primary School, Bamford

Children attend our school from 8.55am to 3.30pm each day. This amounts to a typical school week of 32 hours and 55 minutes. Included in this time is an hour for lunch each day and 15 minutes morning playtime. Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 children also have a 15 minute break in the afternoon, and from Year 3 up, all children have a sensory break mid-afternoon.

Here at St. Michael’s we are dedicated to providing the highest quality learning in a happy, secure environment. We value everyone as a unique individual within a caring, Christian ethos, where high expectations ensure that we each use our potential to flourish in every way. Our pupils are proud to belong. They demonstrate enthusiasm and eagerness to involve themselves in every aspect of school life and are keen to make the most of every learning opportunity. Children have high aspirations for themselves and for each other, and move on to high school well prepared for further learning challenges. To see how our children describe our school you can read their views from the annual pupil questionnaire under School Information > Our Feedback.

We are delighted that our Ofsted Inspection on 8 and 9 May 2024 judged St Michael's to be Outstanding in all areas. You can find the full report by clicking on the file link below.

If you would like to visit our school to find out more, you are most welcome to make an appointment with the school office staff, Mrs Redfern or Mrs Abbott, on 01706 369339. If you would like a paper copy of any information on the school website, this is available free of charge. Requests can be made by telephone, email or letter, or by calling in person at the school office, and we will be very happy to provide the information you need.

Sincerely,
