I just wanted to thank you personally for the nurturing ethos and genuine valuing of each child which has become your school culture. It is a tribute to you that the warmth of welcome is felt as soon as the threshold of the school is crossed.

Mrs Harris (Y6 UK agency teacher) - July 2024

What a pleasure it has been to read this wonderful assessment of our school and the work you and your colleagues undertake. The assessors findings have been so good to read. You should all be so pleased and proud of the work you do and the pupils who attend the school together with the support you encourage from parents and guardians.

Many congratulations to you and your team. It is so important for our next generation to have a really good start in their lives, to develop a meaningful Catholic faith and to live their learning so well. They have the best environment at St Mary and St Michael school!

Thank you to Year 2 for all the lovely cards they made.  The house bound people were so moved - their faces lit up.  Many of the cards are still propped up in their rooms and they still talk about them.  Thank you!

Tich Harvey (Eucharistic Minister) - February 2024

There is a wonderful sense of family and community at St Mary and St Michael.  It was a pleasure teaching Year 3.  The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the outset and I loved my time there.

Miss Finnerty - October 2023

From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and made to feel part of the St Mary & St Michael family.  The children I taught in Y2 were an absolute pleasure to teach and all the staff were incredibly helpful and supportive.  I thoroughly enjoyed my time at this small and friendly school.

Mr Crick (Y2 UK Agency teacher) - July 2023

WOW! What another amazing Year 6 leavers' evening.

To hear them sing, you would never know that there were only 13 of them, they were all so good from where I sat, I could hear every single one of them singing!

Thank you for all the hard work that went into putting on tonight, it really is appreciated by all the parents and the gifts they received are a lovely memento of their time at the school...can't believe it's my last one
