Hello. My Daughter started in Sept 08 (about to go into year one) and I would reccomend it. The school is very strong on pastoral care and a sense community in the school. We did not apply on religious grounds so I can not comment on that side. So far the teachers i have encountered have been very good and approachable. For academic results I think it is good but I would check all the stats. The great thing for me is that it is now one form entry so has a very friendly feel to it and all teh children know each other and the other members of staff. My daughter loves it to and has made good friends and a good start with reading / writing etc etc Hope this helps.

I attended St Michael's COE back in the early 1960s - it was a happy school back then. The emphasis was on giving the best all round education possible - and that was during an era when the 'three Rs' reigned supreme.

The education given was good enough to get me into Colfe's school - then a grammar school - and I subsequently became a graduate and a postgraduate with a PhD. I'm sure that I would not have been able to scale such heights without the firm foundation from St Michael's.

I went to St Michaels from '62 to '68. I look back with some fondness. Then went on to Forest Hill Boys...which wasn't quite as much fun ! After that it was off to Woolwich for Thames Poytechnic. A SE London education. Know what I mean mate !!
