Welcome to St Matthias. We are an inclusive, one-form entry Church of England primary school with a warm and welcoming atmosphere, where every child is known, valued and supported to thrive. We are proud of our diverse community and are committed to building strong partnerships between home and school. Through a culture of collaboration, care and mutual respect, we work together to ensure that every child achieves excellent outcomes and feels a strong sense of belonging.

At the heart of our school is a clear commitment to developing the whole child. Through our empowerED approach, we ensure that every pupil grows in confidence, develops a strong sense of identity and is prepared for the future. Our four key pillars underpin all that we do:

• My Identity – celebrating who we are and respecting others
• My World – understanding and engaging with the world around us
• My Voice – developing confident, articulate communicators
• My Future – building ambition, resilience and aspiration

At St Matthias, we are committed to empowering our children to become independent, lifelong learners. We support pupils to know who they are and develop pride in themselves, while encouraging them to ask questions about the world around them and deepen their understanding.

We place a strong emphasis on communication, ensuring that children can use their voices to make a difference, express their ideas clearly and engage confidently with others. Alongside this, we nurture ambition and resilience so that every child is supported to aspire to greatness and believe in what they can achieve.

We have a dedicated and passionate staff team who are committed to providing a high-quality, engaging curriculum that enables all pupils to succeed. Through strong relationships and meaningful learning experiences, we develop pupils who are confident, curious and reflective, ready for the next stage of their education and beyond.

Children are at the centre of everything we do. We nurture their individual strengths, support their wellbeing and provide rich opportunities that broaden their horizons and inspire them to achieve their very best.

We are proud of our school and the community we serve. While our website offers a glimpse into life at St Matthias, we warmly welcome visits so that you can experience our school first-hand. Our children are always proud to share their learning, and we look forward to welcoming you.
