However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don’t just give up – Stephen Hawking
Our Vision
At St Matthew’s CE (Aided) Primary School and Nursery Centre, we recognise that every member of our school community is unique. Each of us has our own distinct character, our own particular gifts and each of us has our own individual needs. We recognise that there are barriers which, because of some individuals’ needs, can hinder them from fulfilling their potential. Some of those barriers will be common to many members of our school community, whilst some will be unique to one member only. In either case, as a school we aim to identify and remove those barriers to create full accessibility for all, within a truly inclusive school community.
