About Us

Required from September 2025 

We are seeking a dedicated and experienced leader to join our team, someone who is committed to upholding and actively promoting our Christian ethos.

We can offer you:

●    Wonderful children who appreciate everything we do

●    A supportive and talented team of staff who are passionate about providing the best outcomes for all our pupils.

●    Commitment to staff wellbeing with practical support and a strong emphasis on care and kindness.

●    Extremely supportive parents, Governors and wider community committed to ‘working together for the good of all’.

●    A chance to make a difference and shape the future of our school and have a lasting impact on the lives of our children and families contributing to a school where academic excellence, personal growth, and spiritual development are equally valued.

Visits are welcome and recommended as you will be able to gain an overview of the school and the school community. Please phone 020 8874 7786 or email info@stmichaels.wandsworth.sch.uk to arrange a mutually convenient time.
