Welcome to St. Matthew's!

Thank you for taking the time to look at our school website. St. Matthew's Primary school sits in a beautiful forest setting and the children use the outdoor environment for learning every day. We believe that the outdoors provides valuable learning opportunities, so we make the most of our wonderful school grounds. We can often be seen wearing our wellies; they are an important part of our school uniform!

Happy children learn best, so we work hard to provide an environment where children feel safe, feel they belong and feel heard. We have high expectations of both behaviour and work. Our aim is that every child feels valued and loves learning.

 St. Matthew's Church is a short walk across the school field, and we visit it regularly for our worship time. The Vicar also leads weekly Worship at our school and is very much a part of school life, supporting children, parents and staff. We are also well-supported by a team of hard-working governors as well as an active PTFA.

The website is intended to be a useful start for you to find out more about our school, but we would love to show you around.  Please contact the school office on 01420 472844 to make an appointment.

We look forward to welcoming you to our school soon.
