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 1 in September 2019 is collaboration. Busy Bees like to work with other people, learning from them and learning with them. They can learn on their own too. At St Michael’s we are working and learning together in a democracy. My voice and my ideas are valued but so are the ideas of others.
The British value to focus on this term is democracy

We are unable to administer medicines unless the form below has been completed. Please note: medicines must be in their orginal packaging with dosage information included. Ms Udell and Mrs O'Shea have received specific training to administer medicines. The form below is a crucial part of our procedures, please hand this information in at the office or if easier email it to the school office at: office@st-michaels.e-sussex.sch.uk.
