St Michael's RC Primary School Homepage - St Michael's RC Primary School

St Michael’s RC Primary School is a Catholic family
of faith, following the teaching of Christ.

We strive to create an environment where all members of our school community
respect the values of: Church, Independence, Resilience, Caring, Learning and
Enjoyment for all. Belief in these values will nurture all as individuals and instil
in them the confidence to meet their full potential, providing them with the best
grounding for their future place in an ever changing world.

Welcome to St Michael’s Catholic Primary School and Nursery. We serve the local community providing a Catholic education within our whole school ethos embedded in Christian values. Our school values are called CIRCLE values and stand for Care, Independence, Resilience, Church, Learning and Enjoyment. We encourage our whole school community to follow these values to ensure that we all conduct ourselves with respect as individuals created by Christ.

Our whole staff, whether teaching or support, strive to provide our children with a world class education to equip them with the tools that they will need to lead successful and aspirational lives – always striving for the best that they can be.

I am honoured to be the Head Teacher of this school with its atmosphere of learning, fun and enjoyment. I hope you find this website helpful and informative. However this is only a snap shot of what we provide for our children and for all the adults working in our school community. Please do feel free to come and visit our vibrant school by contacting the school office by phone 01634 832578 or email office@stmichaeslrcp.org and Mrs Cleall Harding, Mrs Hurst or Mrs White will only be too happy to help.

27th November 2020 Newsletter

Dear all,

Thank you very much to all of those who responded to our survey on Survey Monkey about the school and the current Covid situation. At last glance we had 85 responses which is great. The link to the survey was sent out in an e-mail on

Wednesday where you simply click on it which will take you to the survey, it takes on average 2 minutes to complete.

It was lovely to read the supportive comments from parents in regard to how we are adapting to the Covid situation. I completely understand the views of those parents and carers who are worried about their children -not because of anything we as a school are not doing, but because of the rapid rises of Covid-19 in Medway, the positive cases amongst staff which has resulted in them having to self isolate and bubbles of children going home. Despite lobbying from our professional unions and the concerns of school leaders -the DfE require us to stay fully open, to carry on right up to the 18th December end of term date and to expect all children to be in school unless absence is authorised by us. Our hands are tied– we are duty bound to remain open and provide education as we did pre-Covid, but we will continue to keep your children safe and review the situation almost on a daily basis. Your support and understanding is greatly appreciated.

Due to Covid-19 the Christmas usual festivities can’t happen as they normally do but we will have a Christmas dinner on 9th December, class bubbles singing Christmas songs and carols which will be posted onto the individual class Jotter pages and we are also planning to put a whole school Christmas song recorded in sections and then linked together for our website. Decorations will go up, Christmas cards will still come in but will be quarantined for 72 hours and we will make this Christmas as jolly for everyone as we always would, but again in the words of the Prime Minister, we will also continue to be “ jolly careful”.

Have a good weekend abiding by the Covid-safe regulations.

Mrs K Sexton

The Harvest Festival at St. Michaels’s

We have been celebrating the festival of Thanksgiving together as a whole school community.
The Year 6 shared their gratitude for God’s great bounty through prayer and liturgy. The children have created a beautiful ‘HARVEST DANCE’ and wonderful ‘HARVEST ART’.
As a whole school, we reflected and thought about the importance of Thanksgiving to God and how can we share our blessings with others in need.
