Everything we do is for the children – so that they can live a life of abundance – articulating our vision. Their voice matters to us, so we make sure we hear their views. This is represented in a number of ways as we have a range of leadership positions for the children as well as representatives in each class.
Year 6 represent the school as Head Boy, Head Girl,Deputy Head Boy,Deputy Head Girl,Prayer Leaders, Prefects. Across the school we have additional positions of leadership through our Pupil Ambassadors, E-Safety and Faith Committee all of which play their part to make St Michael’s a great place to learn and to play.
