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. Today we are proud to be a Loreto school and are inspired to make this world a better place by the example of Mary Ward.
The trustees, governors and staff are 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.
