Vision and Values

Our Core Christian Vision and Values

At St Michael’s, by God’s love and through our Christian values of Love, Faith, Respect and Courage, we celebrate uniqueness and nurture curiosity, enabling each child to flourish on their own rich learning journey; whilst contributing to the wider community.

By God’s love we all flourish together God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. (1 John 4:16)

SIAMS 2023

SIAMS inspection focuses on the impact of the Church school’s Christian vision on pupils and adults. This involves looking at the school’s Christian vision, the provision the school makes because of this vision and how effective this provision is in enabling all pupils to flourish. Church schools will employ a variety of strategies and styles appropriate to, and reflective of, their particular context in order to be distinctively and effectively Christian in their character and ethos. SIAMS inspectors therefore do not look for a set template of what a Church school should be like, but rather take the particular context of the school into account and base their evaluation on the outcomes rather than the process.

The inspection findings indicate that the school is living up to its foundation as a Church school and is enabling pupils and adults to flourish – we are pleased to say that this is the judgement that was awarded to St Michaels.
