Welcome

Welcome to St. Michael's CE VA Primary School - making a difference since 1818.

“…and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”

(Ephesians 3:19)

My name is Miss Rachel Griffiths and I am immensely proud to be Acting Headteacher at this inspiring school.

St.Michaels is committed to providing an all-round excellent primary education. This is rooted in such fundamental British values as: democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs. This is all done in keeping with the school's distinctive Christian character.

St Michael’s is a very special place. We are a learning community where children’s personal development is nurtured and valued exceptionally well, resulting in children who thrive. Although our results are consistently high, our education goes beyond the academic. We are a school for families with a Christian faith, different faiths and also those with no faith who encourage our children to be outward looking but reflective, knowledgeable and curious.

Want to know more? Please pay us a visit to see our school in action.

Families First Portal

This is a directory of organisations, services and groups in Hertfordshire that can help you with problems you or your family may be facing, before things might get worse. This is known as 'Early Help'.

You may not want or need to ask for help from a professional and there's lots of support you can find yourself by looking on the portal.

Information about School Closures

Hertfordshire have a new Schools Closure Notification System. All parents will need to sign up to this system to ensure that in the event of school having to close (which is very rare!), we can get the message out quickly to our families. This will replace any previous similar notification systems.

Registration is very simple, just click on the link below and go to ‘sign up’.

Hertfordshire County Council's School Closure Notification system

You will need to click on ‘sign up’ on the right hand side of the page, at the top. From there, follow the instructions given. It should take no more than 5 minutes to register and you can edit your information at any time should you change your mobile number or email address.
