Vision and Values
At St Michael’s our Christian foundations shine brightly for all to see, guiding us spiritually, morally, socially and intellectually to become confident, successful and aspirational throughout our lives.
We share, care and learn together as one family, mindful of our Creator, caring for, respecting and valuing each other within our school, our community, our country and our world.
Our Vision
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper and protect you, plans to give you hope and a future.”
Inspired by Jeremiah 29:11, and guided by love and respect, we want to nurture our community to grow and flourish in the fullness of God. As a richly diverse and inclusive church school, we hope to create a community where everyone is encouraged to dream boldly, learn joyfully, achieve their full academic potential and live faithfully.
Together, we will empower all to thrive, show courage and compassion, stand against injustice and make a positive contribution to the world.
Love - Faithfulness - Hope – Justice – Respect – Perseverance
“God has plans for us — plans to give us hope and a future. We live out those plans through Love, Faithfulness, Hope, Justice, Respect and Perseverance.”

We believe that our school’s Christian Vision and Values promotes the fundamental British Values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs.
