The Curriculum

St Michael’s emphasises the importance of enjoying and achieving through challenge and success.  It is our aim throughout the curriculum is to stimulate interest and curiosity in all subjects. We aim to help each pupil discover their full potential and encourage them to realise it.

Pupils enjoy a smaller class size enabling every pupil to enjoy and achieve across all subjects.

Pupils at St Michael’s make very good progress due to its highly personalised teaching and learning. This is made practical because of the high teacher to pupil ratio in all classes; everyone can receive all the guidance and attention  needed for sustained progress. The standards of discipline and behaviour are very  high which makes teaching and learning a positive experience for everyone.

The school aims to combine the best of a traditional and modern curriculum throughout; classes are delivered in individual year groups for the core subjects of English, Mathematics, Science, French and Religious Studies. 

Art, Geography, History, Music ICT, and Physical Education also play an important part in the balanced Curriculum offered at St Michael's.

There are also fortnightly Swimming and Gym sessions as well as weekly PE/games.

The school enriches the curriculum through extra-curricular activities and events wherever possible and pupil are encouraged to achieve certificates in the youth leadership scheme.
