Ofsted is the Office for Standards in Education, Children’s Services and Skills. Ofsted exists to ‘regulate and inspect to achieve excellence in the care of children and young people, and in education and skills for learners of all ages.’
In our most recent inspection (February 2020), the school continued to be graded as ‘Good’. In the inspector’s report he noted that "Leaders and staff encourage pupils to behave well and to be proud of their achievements. Pupils are happy at this school. They know that their teachers care about them as individuals and want them to do well. This reflects the school's motto, small enough for everyone to count and big enough to make a difference."
"The school's values remind pupils how to treat people with respect, understanding and kindness. The atmosphere during break and lunchtimes is lively and friendly. Parents and carers feel their children are happy and safe. All parents would recommend the school to others."

As a Church of England school, St Michael’s receives a further inspection in addition to the usual Ofsted inspection to which all schools are subject.
SIAMS explores ways in which school's theologically rooted Christian vision drives its work and enables the school to live up to its foundation as a Church school.
In our last report (July 2024) the inspector considered that St Michael's is living up to its theologically rooted Christian vision. "The school vision is like a beating heart running through the school. Pupils and staff have a zest for life complimented by a deep sense of belonging within the school community." The inspector also commented that the school's vision "underpins and builds strong relationships. Pupils, staff, and families care deeply about one another. There is a genuine sense of compassion evident." We are delighted with the outcome of the inspection.
