Welcome to St Michael’s

Welcome to the start of our journey together in your child’s education

 St Michael’s is a 2 form entry primary school with a 52

place nursery. It has been serving the Chatham community for 150 years

 As a staff team we work hard to provide an excellent

education for all of our children within a caring and stimulating environment

 We are proud of our children and are constantly

striving to provide them with outstanding teaching and learning both in the classroom and outside of it.

 Children get off to a flying start in the early years. Staff

form strong relationships with the children and care for them well. Children settle quickly and happily into school

• routines. Teachers provide children with many interesting

activities which engage the children and promote their

• learning. For example, children searched for the

gingerbread man with excitement. Staff ensured that they explained where he was to develop their use of positional language.Extract from the Early Years section of the

Arrangements

 At the moment we can not tell you what day your child

will be starting or how the arrangements will work out

 Normally we would have some “ Stay and Play”

sessions as an induction for your child but this will not be possible this year.

 However we are hoping to do some sort of induction in

late August so that you and your child can at least pop into the unit and get a feel for it- more details will follow
