At St Michael’s, the school mission statement, ‘Finding Christ in Each Other’, is at the centre of every part of school life. Pupils love coming to school. They know how important it is to attend every day. They care about each other and the environment. Adults model positive relationships in school. Leaders have high expectations for every pupil. The curriculum is well planned. Leaders make sure that what pupils learn covers each subject in the national curriculum. Pupils find lessons interesting. The work in books and on display around the school shows that pupils are proud of their learning. Behaviour in lessons and at breaktimes is good. Adults have high expectations of pupils’ behaviour. Pupils say that adults are fair and forgiving. This ensures that pupils behave well when they attend activities outside school too. Parents say that their children feel happy, safe and secure in school. Relationships between pupils and adults are warm and caring. Pupils know that adults will help them with their worries. Pupils say that bullying does not happen. They know that adults will sort it out if it does. They say that they feel safe. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their interests beyond the classroom. They have a ‘voice’ in school through, for example, the eco group, the anti-bullying committee and the school council. Pupil’s well-being is a priority. Older pupils look after younger children in their role as school buddies, supporting them if they have worries. This helps children to settle into school.
