A commitment to inclusion and supporting all children to achieve their potential
A positive, warm and nurturing approach to all children

Good organisational and administrative skills
A professional attitude towards working with others, including a range of outside agencies
In return we can offer you:
A truly child centred, friendly and holistic school
A strong team and school community
A safe and nurturing environment for our staff as well as our pupils
A supportive and solution focused SENCO and SLT
As well as:
Teaching Assistant support in all year groups
Lots of extra-curricular activities and trips for the children
Progression pathways
Access to an Employee Assistance Programme
Comprehensive whole school and individual CPD programme

St Matthew’s Primary School is a popular, oversubscribed and happy school full of enthusiastic and well behaved children eager to have fun learning. We are a well-resourced and energetic school which is well supported by parents, governors and the wider community.
Alongside our mainstream provision we host a Behaviour Provision on behalf of the Central Area Partnership (CAP), made up of nine schools.This provision supports children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs that can make full time mainstream education difficult for them. The aim of the provision is to provide an environment, pastoral and educational experience that keeps them moving forward in their learning but focuses specifically on their personal, social and emotional development.
