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 Team Leader and SLT who are dedicated to making a difference in children’s lives.
A true sense of moral purpose that the whole staff live by.
As well as:
Dedicated specialist teams to support the work of teachers e.g. PE team, Language team and Family team
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 CPD programme
Comprehensive individual CPD programme e.g. NPQML

A well-equipped staff room, access to school lunches and a central location with many amenities in very short walking distance

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.
