Our School Songs

At St Michael’s, we are proud to have two school songs that play a vital role in our community. These songs are sung weekly during our Collective Worship, serving as a powerful reminder of our vision and values. They not only foster a sense of belonging and unity among our pupils but also reinforce the core principles that guide our school community. Through these songs, we celebrate our commitment to living out our Christian ethos, encouraging every pupil to flourish in the love of God.

This Beating Heart

The lyrics of “This Beating Heart” resonate deeply with our school’s mission to nurture each pupil as a unique individual, fearfully and wonderfully made in the image of God. The song speaks to the vibrancy of life and the importance of embracing our passions and talents. As we sing this song, we are reminded of our responsibility to support one another in our journeys, fostering a community where every pupil feels valued and empowered to pursue their dreams. The themes of love and connection in the lyrics reflect our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually.

Be Strong and Courageous

“Be Strong and Courageous” encapsulates the essence of our school’s vision and the scripture from Joshua 1:9, which inspires us to face challenges with unwavering faith and resilience. The lyrics encourage us to embrace courage in the face of adversity, reminding pupils that they are never alone on their journey. This song serves as a powerful affirmation of our belief that God journeys with us, instilling confidence in our pupils as they navigate their educational paths. By singing this song, we reinforce the importance of trust in God’s guidance and the strength that comes from our shared faith, empowering each pupil to flourish in the love of God and to embody our core values in all aspects of their lives.
