Judith Arkwright, Headteacher of St Michael’s, said, “It’s lovely to have the recognition and a great accolade for the staff. I have the most amazing team who always go above and beyond to make sure all aspects of school are safe, inspiring and exciting whether it’s in the classroom, in the forest or in activities.
The school appeared as 90th in last year’s Sunday Times list. Judith told Marlborough.news. “Our overarching philosophy is that well-being and nurture are the key ingredients. If children are not happy there is no way they can thrive and learn. St. Michael’s is a happy school where the pupils and staff share many special moments together building a lifetime love for learning. It is filled with imagination, nurture, enthusiasm, creativity, risk taking and challenge with our Christian ethos weaving its way throughout all that we do.”
St Michael’s Facebook page and website celebrate this love of learning.
