Thank you for considering St Michael and All Angels CofE Primary VA School for your child's educational journey. I understand that choosing the right primary school is one of the most important decisions you will make as a parent, and I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you what makes our school community so special.

At St Michael and All Angels, we are incredibly fortunate to have a passionate and committed team working alongside our amazing children every single day. What truly sets us apart is our unwavering commitment to putting the needs of our pupils at the heart of everything we do - they are always paramount in our decision-making processes and in the daily life of our school.

I have a strong belief in providing our children with exciting, creative and meaningful learning experiences that not only build their enthusiasm for learning but also help them grow and develop positively across all areas of their development. One approach we particularly champion is encouraging our pupils to develop a "growth mindset" - helping them understand that their abilities can be developed through dedication, hard work, and learning from mistakes.

Partnership is at the core of our philosophy. I think it is absolutely crucial that we involve both children and their families as true partners in education. We are passionate about building a whole school community that thrives on mutual respect and values the importance of positive relationships at every level. I know from experience just how vital it is to work in partnership with parents to ensure that children find school a positive and rewarding experience.

As the key educators in your children's lives, I feel it is essential that you have a voice in their educational journey. We pride ourselves on being an approachable school community where we allocate dedicated time to listen to your concerns, worries, or thoughts about the school. Your insights and perspectives are invaluable to us.

I would be delighted to welcome you to visit our school and see our learning community in action. Please do not hesitate to contact the school office to arrange a visit or if you have any questions about what we can offer your child.

Thank you once again for considering St Michael and All Angels for your child's primary education.

Warm regards,

Sara Richardson
