This means resolution, resolve, willpower. “Stand firm and you will save yourselves” (Luke 21:19)
This means regard highly, value, honour. “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them” (Luke 6:31)
This means mutual trust and support. “Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth” (1 John 3:18)
This means the process of being given passion and/or ideas for a task. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” (Philippians 4:13)
This means being outstanding or extremely good. “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart as working for the Lord” (Colossians 3:23-24)
This connects us with each other. “We who are many, are one body in Christ” (Romans 12:5)
This means having strong moral principles e.g. honesty, decency, fairness, equality; having pure and balanced moral character. Whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things." (Philippians 4:8)
This means having a deep awareness and sympathy for another's suffering. When Jesus went ashore, He saw a large crowd and He felt compassion for them because they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to teach them many things." (Mark 6:34)

What our pupils tell us about their experience of school
Year 6 pupil
The teaching is really clear so that means that you can understand hard stuff. Teachers are so kind and helpful and they make sure that you do the best that you possibly can. My favourite part of school is reading new books and discovering new authors. It inspires me to be an author.
Year 6 pupil
In Geography we’ve been learning about the Amazon Rainforest. I’ve learnt that we need to stop chopping down trees and just look after our planet. When I’m older I want to be a deep sea diver and teach people about the importance of looking after our planet. And I also want to be an astronaut.
Year 4 pupil
This is the best place to be! After lockdown, I was SO excited to come back and see my teachers and my friends. They take lots of care of us here. The thing about coming to Saint Michael’s that I really like is that you learn lots of new things all of the time.
Year 4 pupil
This is a very kind school. On my first day here I felt really nervous and then everyone was so kind and I made good friends really quickly. The teachers help you learn and give you lots of challenges and reasoning so you never get bored. Maths is my favourite because I like to try and solve the problems.
Year 3 pupil
I get to learn new things all the time here. I like that I can see all my friends and we can learn together. In Destination Reader lessons we learn to be better readers and we have brilliant books. But I mostly love learning about the environment and nature in Science. I’ve learnt that some things that humans do have a negative effect. I love animals and some of them are endangered. It’s not fair that they suffer and this is what I want to help with when I’m older.
Reception pupil
Miss is so good at reading stories. She is very calm and beautiful when she reads to us. We have so many books in our class library- Jasper is my favourite.
