St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School

A primary school, which recently celebrated its 70th anniversary, has been praised by Ofsted for ensuring that every child has the opportunity to “let their light shine”. Pupils “thrive, personally and academically” at St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School in Jarrow, according to a recently published Ofsted report.

A Multi-Academy Trust with 30 schools across the North East has stepped up to take part in this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week (13 May - 19 May).

St Matthew’s Catholic Primary School, which is part of Bishop Chadwick Catholic Education Trust, is celebrating after the Year 5/6 girls’ team won the Durham County Cup with the Year 5/6 mixed football team scooping the EFL Kids Cup the very next day.
