St Michael’s Church of England (VA) Junior School is located in the village of Galleywood, on the outskirts of Chelmsford, and shares its site with Galleywood Infants School, fostering a strong and growing partnership.

We value a sense of family and aim to create a welcoming environment for children, parents, teachers, and the wider community as we work towards ‘outstanding’ with a clear vision for the future.

Our passionate and experienced teaching team has been rated ‘good or better’ by Ofsted and the Local Authority. We are proud of our children’s high standards of behaviour, and incidents of bullying are rare and swiftly addressed. Ofsted highlighted that “Pastoral care and support are at the heart of the school’s work.”

With a safe, family-focused atmosphere and strong Christian ethos, children enjoy a rich curriculum, extra-curricular opportunities, and outdoor learning spaces. We prepare our students to become life-long, independent learners and responsible global citizens, constantly seeking ways to raise standards and help each child reach their potential.
