St Michael’s is a highly inclusive Church of England primary school with a SEND Unit for pupils with SEMH needs.  At St Michael’s we value everyone as a child of God and we rejoice in our diversity.  Our aim is to provide everyone with a happy, loving and nurturing environment where we are all able to flourish, make outstanding progress and expand hopes and aspirations.

What makes us truly unique is that we are a community where children are at the heart of every decision.  In our recent Inspection, Ofsted said ‘Sitting at the heart of the school’s success is leaders’ ambition for all to succeed and thrive.’ (October 2024),  

One of the lasting impressions visitors to St Michael's CofE Primary Academy often comment on is the sense of love and kindness that is evident on entering the school.  We are a very well-led and governed school providing children with a high-quality education. Whatever children’s experiences, backgrounds, aptitudes or difficulties, the school has high expectations for their achievement and behaviour. A broad curriculum provides many opportunities to learn new things, both during and beyond the school day and children respond well to this. Children engage fully in school life, grow in confidence and achieve well. Children are inspired to learn here because our dedicated teachers provide engaging learning opportunities that motivate and spark curiosity. These opportunities foster intellectual thinking, encourage exploration, and are both achievable and exciting for all learners.
