While the staff were friendly and welcoming, we felt that the school's approach to behaviour management was inconsistent and sometimes punitive. That being said, we did appreciate the emphasis on kindness and compassion, and the facilities were excellent. Perhaps with some changes to their approach, St Michael's could be an even better school? *(Dec 2020)* ## Other schools in Birmingham - [Ninestiles, an Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/birmingham/ninestiles-an-academy-12144) — 3.5/5 (37 reviews) - [Small Heath Leadership Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/birmingham/small-heath-leadership-academy-18690) — 1.5/5 (32 reviews) - [Eden Girls' Leadership Academy, Birmingham](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/birmingham/eden-girls-leadership-academy-birmingham-20844) — 1.3/5 (25 reviews) - [Ark Victoria Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/birmingham/ark-victoria-academy-16470) — 1.7/5 (24 reviews) - [Archbishop Ilsley Catholic School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/birmingham/archbishop-ilsley-catholic-school-20043) — 1.5/5 (21 reviews) - [Cockshut Hill School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/birmingham/cockshut-hill-school-17012) — 1.6/5 (20 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
