What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 April 2024

St Michael's CofE Primary Academy is a happy, inclusive school at the heart of its community. The school's values shine through in everything that everybody does. Pupils are proud to attend, and parents speak very highly of the school. Pupils enjoy living up to the school's high expectations. They listen carefully in lessons and take care of each other. Older pupils enjoy supporting their younger friends who are learning to read in the lunchtime phonics club. This is just one example of how the school provides opportunities for everyone to flourish. Pupils enjoy receiving 'footprints in the sand' awards for helping others or being positive role models. Pupils know that if they have a worry, members of staff listen to them. This helps them to feel safe in school. They especially value the support of the inclusion team. Pupils contribute fully to school life and know that their voices are heard. For example, the school council requested outdoor climbing equipment and pupils asked to raise money to buy some specialist resources. A carefully planned range of opportunities brings the curriculum to life for pupils. From visiting a local professional basketball team to learning first aid, pupils are being very well prepared for life beyond school in modern Britain.
