Langmoor Class took part in Step into the NHS Day 2026 today!

From discovering behindthescenes jobs to thinking about how they might support others in the future, the class showed brilliant curiosity and enthusiasm throughout. We're so proud of their engagement and the thoughtful discussions they shared. Well done, Langmoor!

Living Our Value of Honesty at St Michael's This week in collective worship, we explored the story of Zacchaeus, a reminder of how choosing honesty can transform us and strengthen our relationships with others. Zacchaeus' decision to tell the truth, and make things right, showed great courage and a willingness to change for the better. We are incredibly proud of our Stars of the Week, who have shown this same value in their classrooms and around the school. Through their words and actions, they've demonstrated what it looks like to live out honesty, even when it isn't always the easiest choice. Thank you to our wonderful pupils for shining so brightly and setting such a fantastic example for our school community.

Celebrating Our Superstars! What a brilliant way to end the half term! Over the past few weeks, our fantastic pupils have truly sparkled; showing kindness, respect, perseverance and teamwork in everything they do. Their enthusiasm and hard work have made this a wonderful half term, and we couldn't be prouder. A huge thank you to all our parents and families for your continued support and for joining us to celebrate our pupils' achievements. Well done to every single one of our superstars. You've earned a well deserved break! Here's to an exciting and successful next half term!

Celebrating Honesty at St Michael's Last week, our children shone brightly as we explored the story of Nathaniel in the Gospel of John, where Jesus simply says, "Follow me." Nathaniel's openness and honesty became a powerful starting point for conversations across school, and our children truly rose to the moment. We are so proud of the honesty they showed, in their words, actions, and reflections. It's wonderful to see these values lived out every day in our school community.

A Beautiful Morning of Kindness Today our visitors led an inspiring collective worship on our value of kindness, and our children shone in every possible way. They listened with open hearts, engaged so thoughtfully, and reflected deeply on what kindness means in their own lives. One child summed it up perfectly when they said: "I see kindness today. You have been kind and come into school to be with us and lead our worship." What a powerful reminder that kindness is noticed, felt, and shared. We are immensely proud of our childrentheir empathy, their confidence to express their feelings, and their ability to recognise kindness in others. Moments like these, show just how special our school community truly is. St Michael's: Kindness grows here.
