Ofsted

St Matthew’s are proud to be recognised in a variety of key areas of the school and would like to highlight the following key statements from their recent report:

Staff and pupils agree that the school is now a pleasant and happy learning environment in which all can flourish. Pupils' behaviour is consistently good in lessons and around the site at playtimes and at lunchtime. One parent represented the views of many in saying, 'The new Headteacher has made several changes to the school, making it a better place for the children'.

Clear behaviour procedures give pupils a sense of security and create a very good working atmosphere in which they can learn confidently.

The school's Christian ethos finds expression in many ways, including valuing all members of its community equally, striving to meet the needs of all individuals, and a strong commitment to the elimination of discrimination.

The Nursery is a happy and busy place where young children are well cared for and develop important skills. The school prioritises pupils' welfare and well-being and staff support them very well.

The new Headteacher has already made a significant impact on the lives of pupils and staff at the school and has made this a rapidly improving school.
