St Michael & All Angels Church of England Foundation Primary School seeks to develop in its children a knowledge and sympathetic understanding of the Christian Faith, its teachings and values, and to foster an appreciation of their relevance to both school life and their own lives.
The school endeavours to reflect this throughout the whole curriculum and the special character of Religious Education and Worship, and encourages links with the home, local community, churches and diocese.
