Burley St Matthias is a 210 place Church of England Primary School, one mile from the city centre in North West Leeds. Overlooking the rich industrial landscape of the Kirkstall Valley, we are within walking distance of a Nature Reserve, Kirkstall Abbey, Armley Mills Industrial Museum, Burley Park, the River Aire the Leeds and Liverpool Canal and Leeds City Centre itself.
We cater for 4 - 11 year olds in two Victorian buildings, which have undergone extensive refurbishment internally to offer modern facilities for our learners. The North Building houses the younger children from Reception to Year 2 and the South Building accommodates children from Years 3 to 6. Each building has a playground and a field.

If you are interested in becoming a governor, please contact the school to see if we have any vacancies. Her responsibilities include special education needs, child protection and children looked after and she is also our governor for reception class. My son has attended Burley St Matthias Primary School since 2013 and I have been a parent governor since 2016.
Increase opportunities to engage meaningfully with parents and carers, enabling them to put forward views at key points in their child's education, and use these views to inform decision making. Make mutually beneficial links with other governors through the Learning Alliance and Headingley and Kirkstall Partnership.
The school covers all the statutory programmes of study outlined by the government. We teach English and Mathematics in dedicated lessons every day but are always looking for opportunities for pupils to draw their developing learning and understanding together in cross curriculuar topics and themes.
