Dear All,
In the interests of safeguarding and ensuring that our pupils are protected only the main school entrance will be open. All other entrances will be closed. We apologise for any inconvenience but know that you will support us in ensuring that St. Michael's is as safe as it can be for the children.
Additionally, we ask that Year 3 and 4 children are not allowed to walk to/from school by themselves. We have a duty to ensure that the children are safe and this does carry risks at such a young age. Please speak to the School Office if this causes a problem for you and we will do our best to assist.
Mr Vella
Acting Head Teacher
Medical Conditions
Dear Parents
On the 10th March 2017 42 letters were sent out to parent/carers regarding their child's medical needs, to enable us to update our medical files. We haven't received one letter back from a parent/ carer or medical professionals. So we will remove previous medical concerns you had from our register as stated in the letter sent home. If this is not correct, please send in the details as initially requested by Friday 12th May.
Thank you.

Dear Parents,
As the summer term progresses, we here at St Michael’s continue our progress towards the future and the next year for the school.
The Governors are binging in several changes at the school and I wanted to share one change which we are introducing over the next few weeks, and that’s the Schoolcomms ‘ Schoolgateway’.
This is an App for your phone or a Web browser, (
This allows a communication link with the school, and most importantly allows you to pay for school dinners or trips via the app, which you can download from the Apple store or Android store.
You then simply register the app and as long as St Michael’s has your mobile number and email address you will get a PIN and then you are ready to go.
The school office will message you with, for example, a dinner money request and then you can pay by debit or instant bank transfer for your children’s lunches.
We at the school understand going cashless is a big change and we will gradually introduce over the rest of the term, so as to give both you the parents and us the school time to adjust. You will be able to pay or consent for school trips via the app and most importantly if your child doesn’t arrive at school we can contact you.
We all hope you enjoy the process of going cashless and improving communication with the school. Any help or feedback please just ask at the office and we will be happy to help you.
Kind regards,
William Capon
Chair of Governors.
