A huge thank you to our wonderful PTFA for organising a visit from the amazing Mr Zig Zag for Plym and Oak classes to celebrate their victory in the 5p challenge. We shared so much fun, excitement and magic! #LetYourLightShine
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who came along to our Drop In and Discover morning today. It was wonderful to welcome you into our classrooms and see the children so engaged in sharing their history and geography learning with someone special.
The 2024/25 winners of our House Point Cup are...Edison! #TeamEdison, who finished fourth in the house point rankings the previous year, have had an excellent season. Their perseverance, tenacity, and cooperation were crucial in their victory in this significant cup. #TeamStMatts
Last week, we held our final football tournament at St Matts. It was great to play alongside our trust school St Georges. All children were wonderfully polite, engaged, and praised each other during the games. So good to see. #TeamStMatts #TrustTournament

It was time to elect the House Captains for the classes of 2026. Some extremely anxious year 5's stood in front of their houses yesterday morning and discussed why they ought to be chosen. After brilliant speeches, vote counting, we had our winners. Wow, what a fantastic bunch!
We participated in PSSP's annual disc golf competition last week. Results came in this week and our Year 6 team came 2nd, and our Year 5 team came 1st. Unbelievable scenes from #TeamStMatts. #Champions #DiscGolf
Special messages for our team mean so much as we come towards the end of the year. We are so thankful for our wonderful school community 🩵❤️🧡 #letyourlightshine
Foundation have been very lucky in PE this term as a lot of our year 6 children have volunteered to come and run a station in our circuit lessons. Having a variety of entertaining stations offered by the top of the school was fantastic. #TeamStMatts #TeamFoundation
Our girls' Y5 football team participated in the Argyle finals last week, which were their last games of the season. We came away with the bronze medal. The girls have been on quite the football journey this year. They are going to smash their sports in year 6. #TeamStMatts
The Pirates of the Currybean has arrived at St Matts! This afternoon we performed a dress rehearsal to KS2 and our siblings, and this evening put on a spectacular performance to our loved ones. We can’t wait to do it all again tomorrow! 🏴☠️
