About

At St Michael's, we are proud to be a school where every child is valued, nurtured, and inspired to achieve their very best. Our holistic approach ensures that pupils thrive academically, socially, creatively and spiritually. Education here is about developing the whole child. -fostering confidence, resilience, and a lifelong love of learning.

Our academic success speaks for itself: in July 2025, 75% of our pupils achieved the expected standard in Reading, Writing and Maths - significantly higher than both the Somerset average and the national average of 62%. This achievement reflects our commitment to excellence and the ambition we hold for every child.

Beyond the classroom, we offer exceptional opportunities to broaden horizons. Our wonderful Young Voices choir performs across Yeovil and beyond, showcasing the talents and confidence of our pupils.

We also run the unique St Michael's University, which gives children the chance to participate in a wide range of engaging activities - spiritual, moral, sporting, creative and linguistic-helping them discover new passions and develop vital life skills.

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

10 governors are linked to a profile (all confirmed).
