About
Michael Faraday is a Primary school situated on the Aylesbury Estate in the heart of Walworth, SE17. It is a mixed school with over 350 pupils, ranging from 3-11 years. The school is named after the famous chemist and physicist. Michael Faraday had links to the local area, being born in Newington Butts.
We have a Nursery and a Reception class, plus two classes per year group from Year 1 to Year 6. Class sizes are kept deliberately small. The school has a policy of employing support staff throughout each year group, meaning that all children can receive specialist adult support at all times.
Teaching starts promptly at 9am. Morning break is taken at 10:45. Key Stage 1 lunch starts at midday, with Key Stage 2 following at 12:15. We encourage our children to eat our excellent school meals prepared on the premises. Michael Faraday has a Healthy School status. The school day ends at 3pm.
The school recently underwent an Ofsted inspection and was graded as ‘outstanding in all areas‘. A new school is about to be built, with a completition date of 2010.
Michael Faraday Primary prides itself on its ethos of treating others as you would like to be treated. We teach the pupils to be proud of themselves and the school community. As well as academic achievement the school aims to give the children a sense of social responsibility and respect for others.
