Yesterday afternoon, St. Matthew’s proudly took part in a boys’ football tournament, entering three teams: Purple, Green, and Yellow. Despite the hot and challenging conditions, all three teams showed great determination, teamwork, and sportsmanship throughout the event.

The Purple team finished in 10th place, the Yellow team came 9th, and the Green team achieved an impressive 4th place finish. Each team played with heart and represented the school with pride, supporting one another and showing excellent spirit on and off the pitch.

Well done to all the players for their fantastic effort and positive attitude! If you would like to see photos click

We are thrilled to announce that St Matthew’s has once again been awarded the School Games Mark Gold—for the third consecutive year! This prestigious recognition celebrates our commitment to providing high-quality physical education and sporting opportunities for all our pupils.

This achievement is a testament to the incredible teamwork and dedication shown by our entire school community. A huge “Thank You” goes out to our wonderful children, whose enthusiasm and effort in every sporting activity makes our school shine. We also extend heartfelt thanks to our parents and carers, whose ongoing support and encouragement help make these opportunities possible. And of course, a massive thank you to our staff, who work tirelessly to create an active, inclusive, and inspiring environment for all.

St Matthew’s continues to be a place where sport and physical activity are celebrated, enjoyed, and embedded in everyday school life. Here’s to keeping active and aiming even higher next year!

Fifteen enthusiastic students took to the field this week for their very first lacrosse session—and what a fantastic debut it was! Despite the hot weather, the children showed incredible focus and energy as they practised key skills like passing, shooting, and match play.

From the first whistle, their teamwork and determination were clear. The coach was especially impressed by how well the group listened and supported one another throughout the session. Whether it was a crisp pass, a powerful shot, or a clever move during match play, each child gave their best effort.

Not only did they learn quickly, but they also represented the school with pride, showing great sportsmanship and a positive attitude. 

Well done to all involved—you made your school proud!

After watching the fast-paced game and cheering on their favorite teams, the children were guided through a beginner-friendly Quidditch workshop. With brooms in hand and safety gear in place, they practiced flying techniques, learned how to pass the Quaffle, and even tried their hand at dodging Bludgers—safely enchanted for training, of course.

Throughout the session, the children demonstrated impressive teamwork and listening skills. They communicated clearly, supported one another, and quickly grasped the importance of cooperation on the field. Coaches and volunteers praised their enthusiasm and ability to work together, noting how well they adapted to the challenges of the game.

By the end of the session, the young participants had not only learned the fundamentals of Quidditch but also built confidence and camaraderie. It was a magical experience that brought the spirit of the wizarding world to life through play, learning, and shared adventure.
