Nestled in the heart of Walworth, Michael Faraday is a diverse and vibrant school dedicated to helping every child to flourish in their potential. Our ethos of excellence and nurture fosters a positive and inclusive environment where pupils feel valued, safe and motivated to grow into happy, healthy individuals, ready to embrace life's challenges with confidence.
Guided by our core values of respect and resilience, we nurture children's moral and social development, empowering them to make meaningful, thoughtful choices that will shape their lives and the lives of others. At Michael Faraday, we strive to inspire children to make sense of the world around them, to contribute positively and to leave a lasting legacy.
We have asked the children what they like about Michael Faraday - have a look at what they had to say! We would be delighted to show you our school in action during one of our open mornings. For more information, please contact the school office. It would be a privilege to welcome your child to the Faraday family!
An amazing school, wide range of afterschool clubs for the kids, fantastic interventions to support learning, love...
