Due to the retirement of our highly regarded and well-loved Head Teacher, we are seeking to appoint an inspirational and dedicated Head Teacher capable of delivering educational excellence and committed to the needs of a highly popular multicultural school.

St Michael’s is a welcoming and inclusive Christian school serving a culturally diverse local community. Our Christian vision and values underpin our daily life within school.

As a Church of England Primary School we support those of the Christian faith, those with other faiths and those of no faith in order to experience ‘life in all its fullness’.

Our Mission Statement

At St Michael’s CEP our Christian foundations shine brightly for all to see, guiding us spiritually, morally, socially and intellectually to become confident, successful and aspirational throughout our lives.

Our children and staff demonstrate our motto of ‘Sharing, Caring and Learning Together’ as a family, mindful of our Creator, caring for, respecting and valuing each other within our school community, our country and around our world.

  • The Christian ethos continues to flourish within the diverse community.
  • Families are encouraged to be involved in their child’s education.
  • All staff are respected, supported and appreciated.
  • Our extensive range of after school and lunchtime clubs are continued

We, the children, staff and governing body offer you the opportunity to: 

  • Lead a school that strives for academic excellence and provides an exciting and enriching experience for all our children.
