Hello I am Mrs Nicola Cleather, the Federation Head of St Michael’s Infant School and Newdigate Infant School. I have worked across both schools for more than ten years and have held leadership roles in both. 

I joined St Michael’s in September 2020 as the Head of School and was delighted to be appointed Federation Head in 2024. 

We warmly welcome you to our small Church of England Infant School! We are delighted to have you visit our website, where you can learn more about our vibrant school community, our values, and the exciting opportunities we offer for your children.

At our school, we believe that every child is unique and special. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all children feel valued, respected, and supported in their learning journey. We celebrate diversity and strive to ensure that each child reaches their full potential, regardless of their background or abilities. Our dedicated staff are passionate about providing a nurturing and stimulating environment that encourages curiosity and a love for learning.

As a Church of England school, we also hold strong to our Christian values, which inform everything we do. We promote a sense of belonging and community, encouraging our children to develop kindness, empathy, and respect for others. Together, we foster a culture of understanding and support, where every child knows they are part of something special.

We invite you to explore our website further to discover the wonderful things happening at our school. Whether you are a current member of our community or considering joining us, we hope you feel inspired by the values and commitments we uphold.

Thank you for your interest in our school. We look forward to sharing in the growth and development of your child during their time with us.

Nicola Cleather
