Each and every one of your families, whatever form it takes, wherever you are from, is part of our St Michael’s family. We are delighted to be running a competition each half term to celebrate all our different families by asking you to submit photographs of some of the amazing things you do together outside school. 

The winning photographs will be published here on the school website an in the St Michael’s Newsletter, and some will be printed to display in school – bringing the wider community right into St Michael’s and celebrating the wonderful diversity of our school population.
