Wings

The St Michael’s WING is the highest award and commendation that the school presents.

The St Michael’s WING rewards students who embody the school values through their words, actions, attitudes and being over a course of time.

The St Michael’s WING is awarded to those who embrace and adopt values of mercy, integrity, care and compassion, humility, achievement, equality, leadership and service all bound within a spirit of Christian love and action.

Students carry values cards that are a daily reminder of what the school esteems and teaches them to be.

Staff are encouraged to look out for opportunities whereby students demonstrate aspects of the school’s ideals and principles and recognise those characteristics.

Over the course of time, students who begin to naturally show the school’s values through speech and action will move through the different value levels to ultimately being awarded the St Michael’s WING.

The WING is not a mark of an ‘I’ve made it’ attitude but recognises a student who has gone above and beyond and has developed spiritually, morally, socially and culturally and is ready for life in modern Britain.

We recognise that learning is more than just attainment. It is also the development and demonstration of our school’s Christian values that enable our students to become agents for positive change in the wider community. As such, we award students the St Michael’s Wing Award each term for demonstrating these values. Students can achieve a Bronze, Silver, or Gold Wing as they progress through their school journey.

Once students have collected eight signatures from staff they will be awarded a wing and then can move up to the next level.

There are 4 levels:

Level 1 – Bronze         Level 2 – Silver          Level 3 – Gold        Level 4 – Platinum
