About St Michael's School
Located in Llanelli, South Wales, close to the coastline and not far from the Gower, St. Michael's School is situated in a picturesque area of natural beauty, with excellent links to the M4 motorway. We educate boys and girls from 3-18, broadly following the best of the National Curriculum, then GCSE & A-Level programmes. Although very academically successful, we also focus on young people's character development, resilience and confidence. Our university destinations are excellent and we enjoy the support of alumni who often return to share their experiences with existing pupils. We have just over 400 pupils in our community and are therefore small enough to know everyone individually, but also large enough to provide a wide range of opportunities.
St. Michael's is No. 1 school in Wales for GCSE results - 80% A* & A, summer 2017. We're also one of The Times' Top 20 UK Independent Schools (co-educational). In 2019 we were awarded Welsh Independent Secondary of the Year (Sunday Times) and in 2021 we were awarded Welsh Independent Secondary of the Decade (Sunday Times).
With a dedicated and hardworking staff, St. Michael’s School is one of Wales’ leading Independent Schools. Through high quality teaching, continuous assessment and regular examinations we are quickly able to identify pupils’ strengths. Small class sizes ensure that learning is tailored to the individual and that they are academically challenged throughout their school life. We aim to create an environment where pupils feel cared for and respected. We nurture and support our children to develop confidence in their own abilities ensuring each child reaches their full potential. We successfully combine traditional methods with a broad and well balanced curriculum, designed to enthuse and inspire our pupils, whilst aiming to challenge each child’s natural desire to learn.
