A fantastic picture to demonstrate what our lovely school is all about. 2 inspections in 5 working weeks-8 areas of inspection-5 ‘outstanding’ judgements. And we’re so much more besides.

Thank you @DanSmithAuthor - what a fantastic story! My year 6 class @StMatthews1875 has loved listening to 'The wall between us' as our class story this term. Much discussion and learning about the Cold War has followed our read! #readingforpleasure
