The school actively participates in the life of our parishes – St Francis and St John’s.

Canon Joe Balmer is our school chaplain. Mass is celebrated on Feast days in our school hall and in class during each class mass. There will be times when we attend Mass in St John’s Church. Families and members of the parish community are invited to attend.

As our school is part of the Scottish Attainment Challenge, we have extended links with Barnardo’s and Library Services.

Our school works closely with the other schools in our cluster (St Francis, St John’s and St Stephen’s) and with our neighbouring school Newark Primary, to develop curricular areas.

The school participates in local events and competitions such as the Port Glasgow Comet Festival, Christmas Light switch on and the Greenock Festival.

Each year, St Michael’s Primary School supports Compassionate Inverclyde, helping our pupils understand how small acts of kindness can make a difference in our local community. Through our support, children put our school value of compassion into action, learning the importance of caring for others and helping people feel valued and supported.
