'The school is a caring community, based on Christian values, where the needs of the pupils are at the heart of everything the school does.' OFSTED 2017.

Our Values

As a school community we have developed our own core values and behaviours for learning. Along with the 'British Values' they combine to underpin our teaching and learning, and provide an environment which prepares our pupils as confident, happy citizens. 

 Growth Mindset

As part of our mission to promote positive well-being in school and intertwined with our school values, at St Michaels we  have been embracing the ‘Growth Mindset’ approach to learning. Incorporating our school values children learn how our brains work and how new connections are formed when they try new things.

Some examples of these are:

• Never give up even when it is difficult
• Learn from each other
• A person who never made a mistake, never tried anything new
• Mistakes are proof that you are trying
• We challenge ourselves
• Our brain is like a muscle– the only thing you need to know is that you can learn anything!
