WELCOME TO
St. Michael’s Community Academy
A place where every child is nurtured, valued, and inspired to thrive.
At St. Michael’s, we are more than just a school – we are a community. A community built on strong foundations of CARE, Courage, Ambition, Respect, and Excellence – values that guide everything we do.
AT ST. MICHAEL’S
We Care
We show CARE by creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child feels seen and heard. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the playground, or out in the wider community, kindness and compassion are at the heart of our actions.
Courage is encouraged in every step our children take – whether it’s trying something new, speaking up with confidence, or standing by what is right. We believe bravery isn’t just boldness – it’s about resilience, integrity, and stepping up to challenges with determination.
Our school promotes Ambition not just in academic achievement, but in personal growth. We inspire our pupils to dream big, work hard, and believe in themselves – knowing that with the right support, they can achieve anything.
Respect is the cornerstone of our community. We celebrate diversity, value every voice, and teach our children to treat others – and themselves – with dignity and kindness. It’s about listening, understanding, and building positive relationships with everyone around us.
And in everything we do, we strive for Excellence. From the high standards we set in teaching and learning to the pride we take in our environment and behaviour, we believe every child deserves the very best – and we work together to achieve it.
As Principal and Head of School, we are incredibly proud of our vibrant, nurturing, and ambitious school. Whether you’re a current member of our academy family or considering joining us, we invite you to explore our website and discover what makes St. Michael’s such a special place to learn, grow and belong.
Warmest wishes,
Mr G. Barlow & Mrs K. Shenton
Executive Principal & Head of School
