We've been really happy with St Matthew's so far. The staff are friendly and the curriculum is great for my child's academic and emotional growth. We love the Christian values that are woven throughout the school too!

"Great outdoor activities!"

Our child has loved the outdoor trips and activities that St Matthew's organises. The teachers are enthusiastic and really care about the children's learning. The uniform is also a great way to promote a sense of community.

"Mixed experience"

We had a bit of a mixed experience at St Matthew's. The teachers were great, but the school's communication with parents could be better. Our child also struggled with the transition to secondary school, but maybe that's not the school's fault!
