St Michael's CE Primary School has a unique quality, its a friendly, inclusive and welcoming school with a history of high aspirations for all of the children who learn at the school.
St Michael's is first and foremost a learning environment, preparing children for a happy, confident entry into the world. This means building their confidence and belief in themselves though our Christian ethos. We help them to make good friends and to develop a wide range of interests and skills, as well as inspiring them to achieve academic excellence.
St Michael's is friendly, lively, happy, caring community in the heart of Wood Green, London. We pride ourselves on being both outward and forward-looking. Our pupils come from diverse backgrounds and we are proud to reflect the cosmopolitan mix of London. We are not just tolerant of difference; we value it, celebrate it and encourage each child to be different. This is rooted in our school aims and Christian ethos and partnership with St Michael's church.
We are a small school although the School's extended community is strong. We believe that children learn best when they are happy, secure, stimulated and challenged both academically and through extra-curricular pursuits.
St Michael' s CE Primary School is situated in Wood Green in the London Borough of Haringey. It is a one form entry, primary school with a current roll of 210 children.
The school is proud of its MISSION: "Inspired to excell with the freedom to dream" and works in partnership with parents and local church to achieve this. St Michael's is an Academy School with a strong Christian ethos and values.
We strive to help all pupils to understand religious beliefs, practices and insights that have been handed down to them from the past, in order that they may develop as individuals and members of society having a fuller awareness of the present day living faith.
Our Christian values are at the heart of our school and everything we do. We aim to provide a caring, stable and intellectually stimulating environment where all children can develop their individual potential.
Parents have strongly expressed their desire for their children to attend the school due to our ethos and the positive, inclusive way we encourage these values. All our children are equally important and we encourage and celebrate our differences.
We aim for excellence in all that we do and strive to create pupils who are well rounded and confident, happy people. We aim to encourage an understanding that they are important and have a place in society.
Each pupil will be able to take advantage of their own and outside resources, whether they are spiritual, intellectual or physical.
We actively promote the fundamental British values of:
We not only provide children with a broad general knowledge of the way the democratic system in Great Britain functions, but we give them opportunities to take an active part in the decision-making process in school by using the democratic process of voting and representation.
Our behaviour policy states, that when children achieve a high standard of excellent behaviour during the day, they are issued with a raffle ticket. All raffle tickets are placed in a Golden Box and two tickets are picked at randon during assesmbly. The children who have a winning ticket are able to choose a prize.
During class time, the children earn "Gold Stars" throughout the school day. These are tallied and every Friday children who have collected 5, 10 or 15 star awards are given a Gold Certificate.
The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) is the period of education from birth to five years. During the Reception class the children work towards the early learning goals. Most children are expected to achieve the early learning goals by the end of the Foundation Stage.
There is a strong emphasis on children learning through play, both child initiated and planned play. The curriculum is delivered through a combination of whole class activities, adult led focussed activities and child initiated activities. In our Reception Class, we teach children through ‘topics’ and these are based on the children’s interests.
KS1 classes (Year 1 and Year 2) follow the National Curriculum, with emphasis on reading, writing, speaking & listening, mathematics and science. They use units from Milepost 1 of the IPC
KS2 follow the National Curriculum, with an emphasis on English, maths and science. Year 3 & 4 use units from Milepost 2 of the IPC, whereas Years 5 & 6 use units from Milepost 3.
At St Michael's we use the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) to help underpin the curriculum in an exciting and engaging manner. We offer a curriculum that gives the children the opportunity to acquire the social and academic knowledge, skills and understanding of the world that will adequately prepare them for the next stage of their learning and ultimately for later life.
