Welcome to our website.Hoole St Michael Church of England Primary is a happy, friendly school with our children's best interests at the heart of everything we do. We work hard to ensure that every child is successful in the key areas of English and Maths and we are keen to see this recognised in the results they secure.
However, we also want them to learn and experience more than this through a broad and stimulating creative curriculum and a range of extra-curricular opportunities that complement our work in the classroom. Our staff is talented, hard-working and caring.
We strongly value links with parents, the church and the community and believe working in partnership will help to provide the best possible education here at Hoole St Michael.
We are also fortunate to have a fabulous outdoor environment including an outdoor classroom to facilitate outdoor learning; millennium garden (complete with sundial) for quieter moments; a well-fenced pond area for nature observations and gardening plots for all classes. Our children all enjoy learning and exploring in our Forest School Area.
