We are delighted that you have taken the time to find out about life and learning at St. Matthew's and hope that our website gives you an insight into our happy, vibrant school. As a church school, we hold Christian values at the heart of everything we do. Every child is precious and unique and we do our very best to ensure that our children flourish and develop a passion for learning, so that they reach their full potential.
Every five years, the Diocese carries out a SIAMS inspection which considers our performance as a church school. Parents and extended family play an important role in a child's learning. We believe in securing strong partnerships which are formed in the early days and then developed and strengthened as the children go on their learning journey.

At St Matthew's, we shape our history curriculum to ensure it is fully inclusive of every child. Our aims are to fulfil the requirements of the National Curriculum for history; providing a broad, balanced and differentiated curriculum that encompasses British values throughout; ensuring the progressive development of historical concepts, knowledge and skills; and for the children to study life in the past.
In Year 1, Miss Campbell, Miss Worgan, Mrs Brazil and Miss Moloney are the staff that are dedicated to supporting your child's wellbeing and happiness at school, and to ensure that they are fantastic learners.

On behalf of the staff and governors, I would like to welcome you and your family to St Matthew's Church of England Primary School.
