We are a proud primary school just outside of Shepton Mallet. We also have Bluebells, our pre-school on site, and the primary school ranges from Reception to Year 6.
Stoke St Michael is a vibrant and welcoming place, with a fantastic team, who are both nurturing and inspirational. We are committed to providing the best learning experiences possible with the children placed at the centre of everything we do; children always come first.
We aim for the children in our school to be happy, safe, enjoy learning and achieve their full potential. Everyone, not just the children, see themselves as part of an effective learning community working hard to achieve excellence.
Each child at Stoke St Michael is treated as an individual, allowing room for particular talents and skills to flourish, as well as encouraging confidence and success in areas they find challenging to accomplish. Our children are encouraged to explore and develop all aspects of their characters in order to become confident, independent thinkers, and young people who are prepared for the next stage of their lives by the time they leave us.
Our aim is to make each child’s primary and nursery days exciting and rewarding, and to develop thoughtful, resilient members of the Stoke St Michael Community. Our curriculum is designed to engage children in a sense of awe and wonder for the world around us, so that they develop a love of learning and discovery which will enable them to progress in the future.
