“As an ex-pupil myself, I have experienced education at St. Michael’s from both sides and firmly believe in the ethos of the school. My time at St. Michael’s gave me a love of learning and self worth which ensured a happy childhood as well as academic success.

With small classes and an imaginative approach to the school day, children receive more attention and a wide variety of experiences, thus leading to greater confidence and self worth.

The ethos of our school ensures children combine their academic success alongside a wide range of other activities including; chess, music, sport, dance, drama and speech, thereby allowing pupils to fully develop as individuals.

We continue to build on the strong family atmosphere at the school, where staff and pupils value and respect each other.”

St. Michael’s School was established in 1923 and after many years of academic success at Senior level, demand was such that a Preparatory Department was started in 1985 with just six junior pupils. So successful was the department that with the addition of a Pre Prep it has grown into a school in its own right.

With a dedicated and hardworking staff, St. Michael’s Preparatory School is one of Wales’ leading Independent Schools.

Through continuous assessment and regular examinations we are quickly able to identify pupils' strengths. Small class sizes ensure that learning is tailored to the individual and that they are challenged throughout their school life.

We aim to create an environment where pupils feel cared for and respected. We nurture and support our children to develop confidence in their own abilities ensuring each child reaches their full potential.

We successfully combine traditional methods with a broad and well balanced curriculum, designed to enthuse and inspire our pupils, whilst aiming to challenge each child’s natural desire to learn.
