Work hard, aim high, have fun!
Michael School is located in the village of Kirk Michael on the Isle of Man. We are small school with a history dating back to 1894 in our current building! Our school is closely linked with the community and our families. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive school, something that was highlighted as a particular strength during our recent quality assurance process. To see the outcomes from that visit, please see the section for parents.

Our school vision:
Michael School is a small school with big learning experiences.
It is an exciting place to learn with times to be calm when we need them. We learn in a variety of ways and enjoy lots of different activities. Our learning means something to us and is fun and motivating. Pupils and staff aim high and try to do their best. We know that if we work hard our achievements will be celebrated. It is a place where we take risks and are not afraid to fail.
Michael School is a happy and caring place where everyone is welcome.
It is a place where everyone is different and is important. We understand that we are all good at different things and together we can achieve more.
We are part of a school family and Michael School is the beating heart of our village.
We are proud to be members of Michael School. Whatever we do in the future, and wherever we do it, we know that we have been prepared for life.
The role that Michael School has played as part of the village of Kirk Michael is still very important to us! This is shown through our school song, composed by Mrs Marilyn Cannell for the school's centenary celebrations in 1994. This is still often sung... we are very proud of Michael School!
This is our school
Where we meet to work and play,
This is our school
Where we learn from day to day.
How to write, what to read;
All the maths that we need,
Friendship and obedience to the rule.
This is our school
Beating like a village heart.
This is our school
Where so many made a start.
Every year passing by,
Memories never die,
We are very proud of Michael School.
