Welcome to St. Michael & All Angels Church of England Academy


This is not funny.

The Welcome Page of the St Michael & All Angels Church of England Academy is featured above, with a prominent photograph of its Executive Headteacher, Dr Irene Bishop. It reads thus:

St. Michael & All Angels Academy has high expectations of students, who are encouraged to enjoy learning and to succeed.

Our core values are Care, Respect, Achievement, Faith and Trust. To support and develop our core values within our learning community we expect every student to give the very best of themselves.

We integrate ICT fully into the curriculum, with students using new technologies to enhance learning within their subjects, ensung (sic) that they leave St. Michael & All Angels as confident, able youring (sic) adults, fully equipped with the skills required to respond effectively to the adult world, whatever career path they choose to follow.

Our staff are committed and enthusiastic and we expect the same from our students.

The Academy is committed to providing a safe, secure and stimulating environment within which young people are supported through a personalised approach and high quality support so that every student is able to achieve his or her personal best.

We believe in nurturing ambition and creativity and welcome students of all abilities.

Dr Irene Bishop - Executive Headteacher
....ensung?

...youring?

His Grace has enquired of Dr Bishop the provenance of her doctorate.

It beggars belief that the Welcome Page of such a prominent and highly-paid Executive Headteacher had not (at the very least) been proof-read by someone literate.

Perhaps she is a little too part-time either to notice or care.
