Our Christian Vision: A Special Place to Learn and Grow

At St Michael’s Infant School, we believe that if we open our hearts and minds to the possibilities, each and every one of us—no matter how small—can achieve and make a difference in our school and beyond. Inspired by the parable of the Mustard Seed, we teach our children that God can do a lot with a little, and that their potential is limitless.

Curriculum Intent

Our curriculum is designed to nurture the whole child—academically, personally, and spiritually. We aim to:

  • Provide a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum that reflects our Christian values.
  • Foster a love of learning through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
  • Encourage children to be curious, resilient, and confident learners.
  • Ensure every child feels valued, included, and supported to flourish.
  • Prepare children for the next stage in their education with strong foundations in core skills and character development.

Implementation

We deliver our curriculum through:

  • Creative and thematic learning that connects subjects and makes learning relevant.
  • Outdoor and forest school experiences that promote well-being and exploration.
  • Play-based and practical activities that support early development and engagement.
  • Leadership opportunities for Year 2 pupils to grow in confidence and responsibility.
  • Christian values woven throughout our teaching, assemblies, and daily interactions.

Our six core Christian values—Love, Peace, Trust, Give Thanks, Forgiveness, and Hope—guide everything we do and help children understand how to care for and value others, regardless of difference.

Inclusion at St Michael’s

We are proud to be an inclusive school, committed to ensuring that all children, including those with SEND and those who are disadvantaged, are given the support and opportunities they need to thrive.

Our Inclusive Approach
We:

  • Know our children well and adapt provision to meet individual needs.
  • Work in partnership with families to support learning and well-being.
  • Use early identification and intervention to support SEND and disadvantaged pupils.
  • Provide high-quality teaching that is responsive and inclusive.
  • Celebrate diversity and promote equity in all aspects of school life.

We believe that inclusion is not just about access, but about belonging. Every child at St Michael’s is part of our family, and we are committed to helping them learn, grow, and flourish—spiritually, emotionally, and academically.
