Headmaster's Welcome

Welcome to St Michael’s Preparatory School. It’s a great pleasure, as the Headmaster of this wonderful school, to introduce you to all it has to offer. These electronic pages will give you a first glimpse of St Michael’s, but I very much hope that you will want to come and visit us in person, you will be made very welcome.

As you browse our website, or indeed visit our School, you will note our beautiful location on the island and unique educational setting. I hope you will also get a sense of our community life and the value we place upon care, consideration and courtesy.

The staff and pupils are justifiably proud of the School, and work together to create and maintain a high-achieving, well-organised and friendly environment in which every child is encouraged to do a little bit better than anyone thought possible.

I hope they will leave us having achieved the very best they are capable of, having found out what it is that they love and are good at, having learned to challenge themselves and to value other people.

Interim Head
