Information about the school

We are a small forward thinking school with fantastic outside space. Our children are caring, well behaved and keen to learn. You will have to work hard as we are a small rural school, but only on the things that make a difference.

We only recruit people who are passionate about making a difference to children's lives, people who challenge themselves to keep on improving. This means our working relationships can be relatively relaxed and informal.

People love working at St. Michael's; we are warm, welcoming, positive, supportive and always looking forward with the two other schools we collaborate with. You will be joining a small team that makes the best use of our environment.

We are a community school with pupils from the village of Withyham (20 minutes away from Tunbridge Wells) and the wider area; all are welcome including those with a faith and those with none.

We work together to foster children who are compassionate, respectful, happy, tolerant, curious and collaborative as well as academically successful.
