Welcome to St Michael's Primary School in the village of Withyham. We are a small Community School with wonderful children, dedicated staff, a strong Governing Body and supportive parents. At our recent Ofsted in March 2018 Inspectors said:
'The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. The school has retained the charm and appeal that makes St Michael’s a popular school with parents, carers and pupils alike.'
'Parents really like the small, family feel of the school.... many parents choose to travel to St Michael’s from further afield because of the care and guidance you offer to your pupils.'
St Michael’s is set in a beautiful village, offering each child high quality learning opportunities. Our strength is our size, we know each child as an individual, ensuring teaching and learning meets the needs and interests of each pupil.
Our mission statement is 'learning and growing together'. As well as high quality teaching, we offer a broader curriculum related to the local countryside. We grow herbs by the school entrance for use in cookery lessons, We have a well-tended school garden and we sell produce after school on Fridays to the community during the growing season.
Each term we focus on a different value in school.
Our school value for Term 2 is resilence. The image we use to help us think about this value is a cat.
Cats are curious and determined. They do not give up easily when things get tricky. We use this as an example of how we are unique, independent and we keep going even when we find things hard. We are true to ourselves. We have individual liberty.
We link the learning value of collaboration to the British Value of democracy; my voice is valued and so is yours.
