Our Vision
Our St. Michael’s Vision
St. Michael’s is like a tree: where through God’s light and deeply rooted Christian values, we grow and prosper. We shine with ambition in a happy, caring and safe Christian family.
- Like a tree planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither, whatever they do, it shall prosper. Psalm 1:3 -
Growth through Our Trees
This is our prayer tree. Each term, we plant new prayers so they can grow.
Here are our other trees, located throughout school, which represent the growth of our pupils.
Together Everyone Achieves More
We are committed to building the skills, knowledge and positive attitudes necessary to help all our pupils become responsible, respectful and tolerant citizens of the future. Through our shared aims, mutual respect and working together, we will believe in ourselves and develop as individuals who make a positive impact on each other and the world around us.
St Michael’s CE Academy provides education in accordance with the principles and practices of the Church of England. Worship, religious education and spiritual development are at the heart of every aspect of our experience.
At St Michael’s CE Academy, we aim to provide all of our pupils with a high quality education within a caring Christian environment where Christian values of trust, forgiveness, friendship, truthfulness and perseverance, hope, responsibility, thankfulness, justice and peace are embedded. Collective worship and Religious Education are effective in communicating the Christian values and are specifically linked to the half termly worship and PSHCE themes. Pupils develop a growing understanding of these Christian values as they progress through the school and this is reflected in, and impacts on, their behaviour and attitudes to each other, the whole school, the wider community and their daily life.
