• Sponsored Run in aid of St. George's Crypt

  Fri 31 Mar 2023

  Well, it was a cold, wet and windy day for it, but everyone persevered during our sponsored run around the school field! Our Reception children were spurred on by completing their laps with their Year 6 buddies and despite the weather everyone had a great time. Thank you to all the parents and friends who came along to support the children. We raised an incredible £4986.41!

• New books for the library

  Mon 20 Mar 2023

  We were contacted last year by the daughter of a lady called Mary Price. Mary was a resident at Dyneley House Care Home, just around the corner from our school, who sadly passed away last year. She had always enjoyed the visits from the children from St. Matthew's and because of this, had left the school some money in her will to be used for the school library. Our new books have been purchased and even include a dedication to her memory in the front of each book.

Each year group had visitors to inspire us about the different areas of science including a doctor, an engineer, a planetarium and the Zoolab.

• The whole school celebrates World Book Day!

  Thu 02 Mar 2023

  We had a great time once again celebrating World Book Day. Every class got the opportunity to visit our 'Big St. Matthew's Book Swap' meaning that every child went home with a book of their choice. We had a great variety of costumes and during assembly we heard from some of our teachers about their favourite book as a child. To finish the day off, we had a 'Story Time Teacher Swap' across the school.
