Let me introduce myself to those families new to St Matthew’s; my name is Mrs Claire Sime, I have the privilege of being Headteacher across the primary school of St Matthew’s. I am delighted that you have decided to send your child / children to our school.
In St Matthew’s we understand that choosing the right school for your child is important, each child is unique and has its own characteristics and needs. Parents / Carers must be confident that the school will suit their child.
Our school is warm, friendly atmosphere, Gospel Values are embedded in everything we do.
