Charity

At St Michael's we support multiple charities with events throughout the year. 

From Comic Relief to Children in Need, we make it our mission to raise as much money as we are able to! 

Each year group also has an individual charity that they will support for each academic year. To do this we may have a sponsored obstacle course, cake sale or danceathons!
