Lecturing in Chicago

Our Headteacher Neil Anderson has flown off to the Windy City to give a lecture on the 'Explorative Quest' project. This is a scheme created and funded by AstraZeneca, the leading pharmaceutial giant, that has a large presence in the U.K.
Mr Anderson has been pioneering this project in St Michael's and also in other local primary schools. It seeks to encourage children in data logging using the latest high-tech instruments.

The history of St Michael's School

Following the closure of Tremough private girls' school in 1998(the only Catholic Secondary in Cornwall), some great spirited teachers and parents started up a 'small' school for children from primary age through to 16. It was able to move into the present building - a former Methodist Church in St George's Rd, Truro. In the autumn of 2009, the concept of free-schools was floated amongst all three political parties and reached the ears of the directors of St Michael's. We decided to try and gain free-school status; we would finally have financial security whilst retaining our very special ethos. This blog charts the moves behind this success story!

(The 'Angels' of the title are the many people throughout the country who over the years have pledged themselves to support the school; and of course St Michael, as well as being patron of Cornwall, is the chief archangel).
