Welcome to St Matthews

We are a school family, where every member is valued, encouraged and cared for in a supportive environment.  Our school family is made up of many different cultures and faiths and we enjoy serving such a rich and diverse community.  This diversity helps prepare our children for life in the 21st century within our wonderfully multicultural city of Preston. We work very closely with our families, the St Matthew’s Church congregation and the local community and we encourage families to be fully involved in their child’s education.

Our staff team are both experienced and enthusiastic and go the extra mile to ensure the children in their care receive the best education possible.  They really get to know each child and work alongside parents to develop every child’s strength and interests.  We love to provide a relevant, engaging and broad education which is rooted in Christian values and helps to develop the whole child in their educational, emotional and spiritual development.

In everything we do we seek to provide the very best for each child so that they can have every opportunity to learn well and develop a lifelong love of learning. Our work here is underpinned by our Mission Statement and reflected in our Vision Statement for all members of our school family.  We aim to engage and inspire all our pupils so they leave us at the end of Year 6 as confident, well rounded young people, who can ‘Be blessed, be happy and aspire to be….’  as they move on in their education.

Being  the Headteacher of St Matthews  is a fantastic job and I’m proud to serve and lead such a wonderful and supportive school community.

If you would like to visit our school or would like more information about us please don't hesitate to call the school office where our office staff would be delighted to arrange an appointment for you.

Our Vision Statement:

We can all ‘Be blessed by God, be happy and aspire to be…’
