'Therefore encourage one another, and build each other up.’ 
(Thessalonians 5:11)

St Cecilia’s Church of England Primary School opened as a brand new 210-place primary free school in Wokingham in January 2023. By September 2026, its period of growth will be complete and there will be one class in each cohort from Nursery through to Year 6. It is a unique site, as it features a new Community Centre within its grounds which will help to promote our vision of St Cecilia’s being at the heart of this new growing community in Matthewsgreen. The site includes playing fields, outdoor learning spaces, a spacious hall, dedicated library, nurture and technology areas.

The school has strong financial management and as a new free school is exceptionally well resourced which benefits all its pupils and our staff team.

In December 2025, the school had its first SIAMS Inspection which had exceptionally positive outcomes. One of the notable strengths was reported as: “Committed leaders place the Christian vision at the heart of strategic planning at St Cecilia’s, so that it underpins policies and decisions. Their effective monitoring and evaluation ensure that the vision is lived out through daily practices and experiences. This enables adults and pupils to flourish.”

When you enter the school, you can feel the empathy and togetherness of all the adults and children and it is this that makes St Cecilia’s the special and unique place that it is. Our staff are all highly dedicated and skilled, providing an environment which stimulates a love of learning, allowing the children to realise their potential. We are ambitious for all of the children and they make great progress in their learning, but for us, academic achievement is just the tip of the iceberg! St. Cecilia's nurtures the talents of each individual and encourages the children to broaden their horizons and grasp every opportunity, living life to its fullest.  

Our core values are: Perseverance, Forgiveness, Kindness, Gratitude, Truthfulness and Wisdom.
