St. Michael's School was founded in 1922 and is situated in a good residential area in Leigh-on-Sea, within easy reach of public transport. The school, through the Head, is a member of the Independent Association of Prep Schools (IAPS) and is accredited by the Independent Schools Council.

We aim to lay the foundation for a happy and successful life and our Nursery provides a sound beginning to this process where our children thrive in a friendly learning environment that provides routine and discipline as well as fun! Most children start at St. Michael's in the September after their third or fourth birthday and we advise early registration - details of which are given when you visit.

Class sizes throughout the school are small, with well qualified staff and a broad, balanced curriculum alongside plenty of opportunities to participate in extra curricular activities. All the children wear a uniform to promote the feeling of a collective sense of belonging and a pride in our school.
