St Michael's Catholic Academy (formerly St Michael's Roman Catholic School) is a coeducational Roman Catholic secondary school with academy status, located in Billingham, the Borough of Stockton-on-Tees, England. The school converted to academy status on 2 September 2013 under the patronage of Carmel Educational Trust. The Headmaster of the school is Andrew Ramsey.
Funded by the Government‘s Building Schools for the Future investment scheme, St. Michael’s was to be relocated to a site adjacent to Billingham Campus School, in the second wave of funding from the programme. However, following the scrapping of the program in 2010, the relocation was cancelled.[1] The school is currently part of the new build programme which should be complete for handover in spring of 2016, which is being headed by vice principal Mr D M G Kelly.
The new building was opened in 2016, with the majority of the old building being demolished.
The first year 7 group in the new building consisted of over 210 students, one of the largest year groups. The following year (2018) introduced an even larger number of students.
Since the arrival of the new school, a few more religious students entered the school. The most religious form class in 2017 was 7A (Now 8A) and it consisted of 5 altar servers. Three of these joined the school chaplaincy group (James Hart, Isaac Thompson and Hermione Clarkson). This group is led by the school chaplain, Rachel Patterson. She helped to organise the retreats to The Youth Village, County Durham and Lourdes, France.
