About St Michael's CofE Primary Academy
If you are a parent weighing up St Michael's CofE Primary Academy, the first signal to consider is that the school is heavily oversubscribed, with a capacity of 210 places. This level of demand is a strong, practical indicator of local reputation, though the data does not provide a specific parent recommendation percentage to back that up. What is clear from the most recent inspection is that the school is currently rated Outstanding overall, a significant jump from its previous Good rating. In its 2024 ungraded inspection, Ofsted confirmed that standards are being maintained, and the leadership and management, as well as early years provision, were each judged Outstanding. This marks a clear upward trajectory from the school's 2012 inspection, where both leadership and overall effectiveness were rated Good. For parents, this suggests a school that has not only improved but is actively sustaining high performance.
