Scholars' Day

On Tuesday 21st May we were honoured to welcome astronaut Helen Sharman to St Michael's to speak to our Years 6, 7 and 8 pupils about her extraordinary experiences of Space travel.

Renowned as the first British astronaut to travel into Space, Helen captivated the room during her speech, leaving pupils and staff in awe of her amazing stories. Echoing the growth mindset approach we have here at St Michael's, Helen also shared some valuable stories of personal growth including overcoming self-doubt which were truly inspirational, proving you really can achieve anything you put your mind to! Thank you to Eva F in Year 6 and her mum Sasha for organising this memorable opportunity for the pupils.

Following our amazing afternoon with Helen, we were delighted to welcome current St Michael's Scholars together with Year 6 future Scholars and Year 8 pupils who have secured Scholarships at senior schools for our annual Scholars' Dinner. Thank you to Mrs Clarke for organising this special evening of celebration, the Catering Team for another delicious meal and congratulations to the pupils for their accolades.
