Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI

Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils鈥� behaviour and positive attitudes are very strong throughout the school. Leaders recognise the importance of ensuring high-quality interactions.
Support for SEND Pupils: Staff work with parents to develop clear targets to achieve this and meet the individual needs of these pupils.
Managing Bullying and Pupil Safety: While some pupils struggle at times, unkind words or actions, including bullying, are exceptionally rare.

Parent Feedback: Parents' views are taken into consideration as part of the inspection process.
Parental Involvement: Staff work with parents to develop clear targets to achieve and meet the individual needs of pupils.

From the St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School
We appreciate you looking at the webpage for our school. I like working in such a welcoming environment. The kids at St. Matthew's use the outdoors to learn because it is located in a lovely forest setting. Wellington boots are a crucial component of our school uniform and are frequently seen on us. We frequently attend the Church, which is located behind the school, for worship services. We are fortunate to have supportive Parishioners who are excited about the school. Additionally, the vicar makes at least weekly visits. I sincerely hope that every child that enrols at St. Matthew's has such a favourable perspective on their education and experiences there. All of them are urged to embrace daily enjoyment and lifetime learning. We want to show you around our school, but the website is meant to be a helpful place to start if you want to learn more about it. To schedule an appointment, call the school office at 01420 472844.
