If someone asked me about St Michael's I would tell them...

St Michael’s is a small friendly school, with teachers who work hard to get to know each child.

St Michael’s is an excellent school that accepts children of all backgrounds, whatever their abilities are. The teachers encourage the children to help them reach their maximum potential whilst helping identify any difficulties. We’ve had amazing support from the head teacher for our child and they wouldn’t have progressed as far as they have without this support.

What a wonderful, supportive and encouraging school it is.

Very good school

That it is a great school and would recommend it to anyone. We are looking to send our Daughter here too when she is old enough.

The school feels like a friendly community and has a strong academic focus on results.

It's a great school where children excel and do really well academically. I've seen my children grow and become confident learners as they've progressed through the school. I've been pleased with the school's respectful approach to other faiths. Staff have been very understanding and accommodating of my children during the month of Ramadan.

that my child has not had a school trip since she started at school, and there are no activities on offer.

My 3 children have all thrived at St Michaels, I feel it has given them an amazing grounding in both education and personal and social skills which my older 2 have carried through to high school and I'm confident my youngest will too. I would not hesitate to recommend this school.

I recommend the school as a place to send their children

Outstanding

My daughter loves school, she is happy & thriving in her education.

I would highly recommend sending your child or grandchild to St Michael's. The teachers offer high quality teaching and really care about the children. Communication between the teachers, pupils and parents is excellent. My children have been happy and made some lovely friends. If any problems have arisen they have been dealt with swiftly and positively. The staff go above and beyond for the children because they truly care. It is a safe, clean environment, where teachers encourage and challenge the children to achieve their best without pressure but through positive encouragement.

My child has been very happy during her 8 years at school, though I would like for more school trips & experiences to be offered.

My child is receiving the best education and will be well equipped and prepared when starting High School.
