School overview
St Michael's Catholic College is a secondary school serving London, Southwark, classified by the DfE as a converter academy with a Catholic religious character. It has 961 pupils aged 11 to 18 on roll. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 58.0 — well above the national average (national average: 46). On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 10% of secondary schools in England.
66% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. 83% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. St Michael's Catholic College is oversubscribed: about 6 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Year 7 place for September 2026, with 192 first choices for 150 places. Overall pupil absence was 5.7%. There are about 11.1 pupils per teacher. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage: about 37% of pupils have been eligible for free school meals in the last six years, compared with roughly 24% nationally — useful context when reading the results above. St Michael's Catholic College does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected.
