Welcome to St Matthew's Catholic Primary School, where our community is guided by the loving example of Jesus Christ. Our school motto, "I try to live like Jesus: I love; I forgive; I pray. ‘Come follow me’ – Be the best that I can be," reflects the essence of our mission. We strive to nurture each child's spiritual, academic, and personal growth within a warm, inclusive, and faith-filled environment.

At St Matthew's, we believe that every child is a unique gift from God, with their own talents and potential. Our dedicated staff are committed to fostering a love of learning, a spirit of compassion, and a deep connection to our Catholic faith. Through our curriculum, liturgical life, and daily interactions, we encourage our students to follow in the footsteps of Jesus—to love unconditionally, forgive generously, and pray earnestly.

Our school is more than just a place of education; it is a vibrant community where children are encouraged to be the best they can be. We work in partnership with parents, parish, and the wider community to create an environment where every child feels valued, respected, and inspired to grow in faith and knowledge.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about the opportunities and experiences we offer. Whether you are a prospective family, a current member of our community, or simply a visitor, I hope you feel the warmth and welcome that is at the heart of St Matthew's.

Warm regards,

Mr. P Whitehead
Headteacher
