St Michael's Primary School & Nursery

At St Michael's Primary School and Nursery we take our responsibility to prepare children for life in modern Britain very seriously. We ensure that the fundamental British Values are introduced, discussed and lived out through the ethos and work of the school.

All curriculum areas provide a vehicle for furthering understanding of these concepts and, in particular, our RE and Life Skills lessons provide excellent opportunities to deepen and develop understanding.Children embrace these concepts with enthusiasm and demonstrate a good understanding of their application to their own lives.

The school is not currently operating remote education, but should we need to revert to it, below parents can find information regarding Google Classroom. We are are now using Google Classroom to enable all of our pupils to access home learning and to learn from home when in isolation.

Google Classroom is a safe and secure solution for children to access learning materials directly from their class teachers; a location in which they can collaborate with their peers by sharing useful websites and tips to completing assignments; a hub to allow blended learning direct from their school classrooms into the comfort of their own homes.

At St Michael's Primary School and Nursery we are committed to supporting the emotional health and wellbeing of our pupils, families and staff. We know that everyone experiences life challenges that can make us vulnerable at times, anyone may need additional emotional support. We take the view that positive mental health is everybody's business and that we all have a role to play.
