About St Michael's CofE Primary Academy, Ramsey

If you are a parent considering St Michael's CofE Primary Academy in Ramsey, the first thing to note is that the school is currently undersubscribed, with 119 pupils on roll against a capacity of 210. This means there is likely to be space available for your child, and the school is actively welcoming new families. However, the most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023 rated the school as 'Requires Improvement' overall, a rating it has now held across two consecutive inspections, having also been graded 'Requires Improvement' in 2018. This is a significant signal for parents to weigh up. The school's leadership and management, quality of education, and behaviour and attitudes were all judged to require improvement, while personal development was rated 'Good'. With a high proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 41.2%, the school serves a community with considerable socio-economic challenges, which may be a factor in its current rating.
