“St Michael’s mission statement, ‘With Jesus we can achieve what we dream and believe’, is lived out joyfully in this welcoming school, which serves its multi-faith community with great love and respect. Strong relationships at all levels enable pupils to thrive, grow and achieve the very best that Catholic education can offer. Highly effective, interactive and creative teaching in religious education ensures that pupils are well- motivated, achieve well and are religiously literate. ”
Catholic Schools Inspectorate (May 2024)
At St Michaels’ we believe that the Catholic Religious Education provided by our staff is not merely an added extra that we offer to pupils. It permeates the whole life of our school-in all aspects of the curriculum and extra-curricular activities. It is conveyed in the values and attitudes incorporated into the way the school is structured and managed.
Come and See Newsletters
To fulfil our Aims and Objectives we use the ‘Come and See’ Programme of Religious Education recommended by the Archdiocese of Liverpool. The aim of this programme is to explore the religious dimension of questions about life, dignity and purpose within the Catholic tradition. Links are made with the pupil’s own experiences and with universal experience. Links are also made with the experience of other faith traditions. The programme is therefore both ‘objective’ and ‘subjective’.
For all children the programme will raise questions and provide materials for reflecting on their own experience. It will help them to explore the beliefs, values and way of life of the Catholic tradition and where appropriate, of other faith traditions. The programme does not presume that children come from committed Catholic families. For those from committed Catholic families, it will deepen and enrich their understanding and living of their faith.
To know You more clearly
The new Religious Education Directory Curriculum ‘To know You more clearly’ is being introduced in EYFS in this academic year. The programme will be rolled out progressively across the school from September 2024.
