It is with great pleasure that I extend a warm welcome to our vibrant learning community at St Matthew's CE Primary School and Nursery.
When becoming part of the St Matthew's community you will be welcomed into an aspirational, kind and creative school that equips children with the academic, personal and social knowledge and skills they will need to become confident and successful individuals as they grow. At St Matthew s, we believe in fostering a love of learning in every child.
Our dedicated team of educators is committed to providing a stimulating and supportive environment where children can thrive. We recognise that happiness and well-being are the cornerstones of academic success and our children are given the confidence to believe in themselves and follow their dreams.
Our greatest ambition is to develop our children as good learners and good neighbours and to support them to be the best they can be as they grow to take their place in the world.
