“Kington St Michael is a warm and welcoming Christian community. Relationships at all levels are outstanding. The school, through its distinctive Christian character, is outstanding meeting the needs of all learners. Children say that understanding their own special qualities and attributes boosts their self- confidence and self- worth. This, is turn, ‘motivates them to live up to the expectations they have been given’ by their teachers.
