School Description

St Michael’s is an independent Catholic school for pupils aged four to 18. Presently, there are no pupils in the early years and Year 12. There are currently five male students in Year 13 who are close to completing their courses. There is boarding provision for boys aged 11 and above, which is registered and inspected separately by social care inspectors. Each year, a number of pupils join the school from overseas, some for a relatively short time. Typically, the boys are accommodated in the boarding provision on site while girls Inspection report: St Michael’s School, 14–16 May 2019 Page 8 of 11 stay locally, sometimes with families of other pupils who attend the school. Pupils in the primary phase are taught in three classes: Year 1, Year 2/3 and Year 3/4/5/6. In the secondary phase, pupils are taught in single year-group classes, with boys and girls taught separately. There are currently boys in Years 7, 8, 9 and 11, and girls in Years 8, 10 and 11. The school’s proprietary body is the Society of Saint Pius X (SSPX), a global organisation whose main purpose is the formation and support of Catholic priests. St Michael’s is the only school connected with SSPX in the United Kingdom. A named proprietor represents the proprietary body and has responsibility for governance of the school. In October 2017, the school and boarding provision were inspected simultaneously, and were judged to be inadequate. Progress monitoring inspections subsequently took place in June 2018 and October 2018. At the most recent monitoring inspection, the independent school standards and national minimum standards for boarding provision were judged to be met. Since the last full inspection in October 2017, the proprietor and headteacher remain in their posts. A deputy headteacher joined the school in April 2018. Another deputy headteacher, who had responsibility for the primary phase, left the school in April 2019.
