St Michael's School - Llanelli



In their own words

St. Michael’s School is one of the UK’s leading independent schools, consistently highly ranked yet remaining inclusive and committed to our mission of success for all students who join us.


There are a range of abilities in our school – our focus is on adding value to each young person’s educational journey, challenging them to exceed the grades they ever expected to achieve. Our results are entirely a product of the pupil and teacher commitment to doing everything as best as we possibly can.  Importantly, we always ensure our advice and guidance to parents puts the child’s needs first, so that they have the future that they deserve. 


We are a friendly school where pupils join us both in September and throughout the year; pupils quickly take to what we have to offer and make friends among like-minded peers.


We offer an outstanding education, combining the pursuit of academic excellence with all-round personal development, for boys and girls aged 3-18 years. We are a traditional yet innovative school, where a strong culture of excellent pupil behaviour and effort leads to truly extraordinary learning. Above all, we are very ambitious for our pupils; our caring and experienced teachers strive to draw out the very best from every young person, enabling them to become confident, resilient and capable. Our pupils make excellent progress and achieve impressive exam results, benefitting from high-quality teaching in small classes. Nevertheless, we provide a wealth of co-curricular opportunities in sport, culture and the arts. Please do come and visit us in person, to see for yourself what makes a St. Michael’s education so valuable. You can be assured of a warm welcome from pupils and staff alike.

The school uses the CEM Select entrance exam to assess admissions. CEM Select includes particular questions types, covering Verbal Reasoning, Non-Verbal Reasoning and Mathematics, often paired with a CEM English paper. It is particularly important to practise the Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning modules, as the precise type of question varies across different exam boards.


We work with the test experts at Ready Steady Pass, to bring you the most accurate and best value CEM Selet practise material. These exams are audited by AQA and EdExcel exam markers, and ISI independent school inspectors. Tests are taken online, include unlimited resits and emailed results including answer sheets to share with tutors and parents.


Each individual exam contains a full CEM Select experience, covering Maths, Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning; and includes a CEM style English exam as standard. Buy the Bundle or Complete Collection to get the best value for money.
