We are thrilled to announce that St Michael's Prep School has won the Passionate about Sport award in the national Muddy Stilettos' Best Schools Awards 2024. 

The national awards, which are open to independent schools from across the United Kingdom, celebrate outstanding pupil experience. This year's Awards received a record number of entries from over 500 schools across the 13 categories and were judged by professionals from various sectors including MBE recipients.

Writing to St Michael's on Thursday 27th June, Muddy Stilettos said: "The ethos of Muddy Stilettos is all about celebrating and supporting the best in modern, holistic education and we hope that your award will give your school a real boost. Now in their third year, the Best School Awards have grown exponentially – this year, we saw 500+ schools enter all around the country! The judges were incredibly impressed by all submissions, but felt that yours stood out for its originality and attention to detail."

St Michael's entry focused on the lifelong love of sport promoted at St Michael’s as well as the opportunities provided to children including the School of Sports programme, Sports Scholarships, GB athlete workshops and community outreach programme. The entry also celebrated St Michael's regional and national sporting triumphs, impressive participation in the Knight Frank Schools' Triathlon, pupils' and alumni's extra-curricular achievements and the inclusivity of our sporting curriculum.  

We are so proud of St Michael's (award-winning!) Sports Department and pleased that their hard work and tireless encouragement of our children has been recognised!
