st michael's catholic grammar school
London
Thank you for visiting our website and I hope you find the information you
require here, although to get a true impression of the many strengths and
outstanding features of St. Michael’s Catholic Grammar School – you will have to
visit us at one of our open days! St. Michael’s is a very special place, it is
first and foremost a Catholic school; the ethos implanted here by the Sisters of
the Poor Child Jesus who founded this school. The trustees, governors and staff
remain committed to enabling our students become the person God intended them to
be; supporting them to make sense of this complex world and to seek out their
unique purpose in life. St Michael’s is a place of spiritual formation – we
recognise that Jesus has taught us that we should “love one another as he loved
us” – and this gives a focus to the pastoral support we offer our young people.
St. Michael’s is also a place of intellectual exploration and achievement. This
school is extraordinarily successful – this has been recognised by Ofsted on
numerous occasions and every year our students achieve outstanding A Level and
GCSE results. Whilst the results are impressive – the true value of these
results is what our students are able to do with them. For our students, their A
Level grades enable them to open doors to the most prestigious universities and
courses. This school exists to enable its young people to move on to the next
stage of life’s journey, equipped with the qualifications which will lead them
to success, but also the skills and attitudes which will enrich their life and
enable them to take up positions of influence in our society – and so change it
for the better. If you visit us, the first thing you will notice is the calm
atmosphere around the school site and especially in the classrooms. We have very
considerate and hardworking students as well as highly capable and caring
teachers. In all schools, the success of any child depends upon the partnership
between parents, teachers and child – and at St. Michael’s there is not just a
partnership – but an active and effective commitment to what is being achieved
for our young people.
