Admissions and Virtual Tour
We welcome parents and carers to come and visit our school before applying for a place. To help parents, we have created a virtual school tour. This will give you a feel of St Matthew’s and show the opportunities we offer all our children.
If you have a child due to start school in September 2024, we will hold tours in the Autumn Term 2023 which you are welcome to attend.

We are a two form entry school, with 60 children in each year. We welcome enquiries from parents looking for a place in Reception and further up the school. We work to ensure that our children settle quickly into school, and enjoy their learning.
