Thanks to Alex, Reuben and Lulu for giving up their time on Sunday to make the scenery for this week’s Wizard of Oz performance and to Andrew for adding a wooden structure. We hope you’ll enjoy the show!

We ended the year with a fantastic whole school performance of The Wizard of Oz. The children were amazing - they performed brilliantly and with such enthusiasm. Thank you to everyone who helped with costumes and scenery and to the PTFA for their support with refreshments.

A bittersweet moment: saying farewell to our Super 6s. They all deserve a well earned break 👏👏👏 good luck with their next adventures! @stchris_trust #enrichingthroughexperiences

Today we said a fond farewell to our fabulous year 6 children. We wish them all the very best as they move on to new adventures. They will be missed by us all!

Our partnership with RWI this year has seen us achieve above national phonics results again!

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

Our year 3,4,5&6 football teams went to Old Priory on Friday for the St Matt's vs OP Cup. All teams determined to retain the cup after winning both tournaments last year. All 4 teams came top 2 of their respective tables, bringing the ultimate trophy back home again. #TeamStMatts

We welcomed our new reception children into school today for their third and final stay and play session. We gave them a welcome gift bag from us containing a Bible, a biscuit and a photo frame to decorate and bring back in Sept with a family photo to create a display in class.

Thanks to our PTA and also the Ilsham English Hub for financially supporting our new phonics scheme for September. Thousands of books ready to go…. Now just to stamp them and organise them! #phonics #earlyreading

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

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

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.

When the former Chair of the Trust Board pops in to say goodbye 🥰 Couldn't have done it without them! @stchris_trust #governance #multiacademytrust

We all thoroughly enjoyed watching our Year 6’s performance of Oliver! It was performed beautifully; we felt like we were at a West End show! 👏🏼🤩 #findingthelight #flourishingcommunities @stchris_trust

The whole school has enjoyed participating in a taiko drumming workshop today which was great fun! Thank you to our PTFA for part funding this magical experience. The children had a great time and we had wonderful feedback from the those running the workshop too 🥁

Class 2 successfully passed the judging stage and as a result, they have a collaborative collagraph print in the @royalacademy online Young Artists Summer Show. There were over 23,000 entries with only 545 of those chosen to be exhibited online. What a fantastic achievement! 🖼️

Our school grounds seem to be attracting lots of caterpillars. Here we have a hawk moth caterpillar and cinnabar moth caterpillars! How exciting! 🍃🐛#findingthelight #flourishingcommunities

This week KS1 drew their end of year self portraits. Amazing g drawing skills Year 1 and Year 2! ✏️
